Descartes was a dualist who claimed the universe is composed of mind&matter. Today, scientists look at the world with a materialistic view: reality can be broken down strictly in matter.

There are 7 billion people in the world. Are these 7 billion people born with just matter, mind, both mind and matter, or something else?
