what is gilbert ryle's objection to mentalism?

Hello booboo45-ga,

According to a philosophy professor at the University of Rhode Island,
Gilbert Ryle had two objections to mentalism: 1) "Mentalism leads to
skepticism", and 2) "mentalism leads to dualism".

I mistakenly provided the wrong link in my answer.  (I linked to the
professor's main page, rather than to his notes.)  The correct link
is:

This should serve to explain my answer.  I apologize for the confusion
that the incorrect link may have caused.
