Ghost in the machine
From RationalWiki
The ghost in the machine is a sarcastic description coined by British philosopher Gilbert Ryle, referring to René Descartes' ideas about mind-body dualism. He introduced the phrase in his 1949 book The Concept of Mind, in order to demonstrate the silliness of Descartes' dualist system which hypothesized that mental activity is carried on separately and without any obvious connection to physical activity.
