Speaker did not offer an alternative to dualism as claimed. It was dualism. He just focused mostly on the mental part e.g. neuroscience and psychology.

His model for explaining how brains organize thoughts (the 'easy' problem), does not address how the physical world allows for consciousness in the first place (the 'hard' problem c.f. David Chalmers https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2018/12/03/epis... ).
