Nonetheless, many of you think it is -possible- for this reduction to occur, say once we know enough about neuroscience, etc.

Not really Nagel's argument. He, like Frank Jackson, would say that even if you knew everything about the brain, you still wouldn't know qualia like 'experiencing blue.' For them, the mind body problem is not an epistemological problem but an ontological one. But Nagel is not a dualist.
