So, then we can add "Cartesian dualism" to the list of useless hypotheses...
No wait... that's already covered by philosophy.
See, the idea is to help folks avoid wasting time and resources, and one way
to do that is to start a list of useless hypotheses.

Useless hypotheses:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing
Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once, but an
infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
