If my soul, as a geometric point, is in my body, it must be either in the top half of my body or its bottom half. If it's in the top half, it must be either in its left or right half, and so on, and we should be able to cor ner the soul into as small and specific a region of my body as we like. And why should we locate my soul in my body to begin with? Why can't we locate all the souls of this world in one tiny place, say this pencil holder on my desk, like the many thousand angels dancing on the head of a pin?

It would beg the question to locate my soul where my body, or brain, is on the ground that my soul and my body are in direct causal interaction with each other; the reason is that the possibility of such interaction is what is at issue and we are considering the localizability of souls in order to make mind-body causation possible. (Kim 2005, 89)
