Actually, I understand the territory pretty darn well. Don't be fooled by those stupid jerks. I have defined the mind as internal thought, feeling, me...
True, but the internet can bring out the worst in people it seems. Yes, most people on here were ok, but there were two jerks, materialists who were v...
I actually did reply to this earlier. I'm really tired now, but basically what I said was that brain and mind work together so if your mind disagrees,...
I don't know who you think you are, but you're the one who is confused and deluded. But only time will tell. Don't bother replying. You're just wastin...
Perhaps a materialism might say that the brain causes conscious experience, and therefore this must be physical. What I am saying is that the brain ca...
"By "indivisibility" I simply meant that you couldn't take someone's consciousness and split it into pieces. At least, I am not aware of any phenomeno...
"Yeah. And isn't the physicalist problem allegedly to do with that sentience rather than that rationality?" Actually, it appears that the physicalist ...
I disagree with you that how humans developed "linguistic habits involved in reasoning" is an easy problem that has already been answered. I think tha...
I think you are reading too much into the term "naturalism". By naturalism, I simply mean that I do not believe in the supernatural or spiritual. I do...
I'm going to reply here and then get back to Wayfarer. Much like Uber, you don't appreciate what is new about my new dualism, and so I'll try to spell...
Wow, you've really changed. I thought you're earlier post was interesting, but now you appear to have totally lost it. Are you drunk, or do you have a...
I believe that I have a pretty good idea of what I know and what I don't know, but of course I am fallible. I don't know exactly how the brain creates...
I think you are right that we have pre-ordered templates that should be challenged. It appears to be human nature to overreach, and I believe that is ...
You appear to be a beacon of light in a sea of ignorance. You make some good points about the difference between the mental and physical. One point I ...
I think you misunderstand my position. I don't see mind and brain as being different independent substances with the mind being supernatural. That's t...
You have no idea what you are talking about. You don't seem to want to learn anything new. You are a waste of my time. Don't reply to me as I will no ...
Wow, Uber, it appears that I got under your skin and you've gotten a little personal. I find that kind of amusing, both because I'm not used to these ...
Thanks for being the only person on here to actually support me. I like what you said here. "I think that you are underestimating how counter-intuitiv...
Uber, I got the following from a quote you cited. "Contemporary neuroscience has established a fundamental correlation between brain function and ment...
You want evidence? How dare you? Just kidding. First, although many neuroscientists are biased against the mind, the idea that the mind emerged from t...
I also believe that consciousness is an emergent state, but that does not make it physical. There is tremendous bias against dualism among neuroscient...
Your puzzle analogy appears to be a good one. The mind is like a piece that won't fit into the materialistic puzzle. I think you're wise to caution us...
It appears to me that the mind did emerge from the physical brain. However, there is no real evidence that the mind is somehow physical. This is just ...
Uber, You are seriously confusing materialism and naturalism. I believe in naturalism. I believe that the internal mind and conscious experience evolv...
yatagarasu, Thank you for being polite. Still, I think your view of history is a little off. I don't believe that science was formed within a material...
Uber, This is similar to your last post. First I want to point out that there are many different kinds of materialism, some not as rational as yours. ...
Jacykow, materialists have indeed said things such as: What we believe is the consequences of neurons put together to form a kind of survival machine,...
Jacykow, I don't think that predictions made by YouTube in any way implies materialism or physicalism, or disproves dualism. Moreover, I don't really ...
Dalia, Actually, I think brain and mind work together. They are intimately linked and connected. So if you say that my brain disagreed with you, that ...
Marcus, I think people rebel against dualism with such enthusiasm, as you put it, because it appears to be so obviously right. They assume it is a kin...
Jacykow, I suppose the reason I appear emotional is because I truly believe that materialism has been extremely harmful to both science and humanity. ...
Thank you, Aaron, for criticizing one of my critics. Of course, you are absolutely right. What you said points out one of the main problems with mater...
Galuchat, You didn't write many words, but there's a lot packed in there. I just want to make a few points. It's true that correlation does not prove ...
Uber, first I will admit that you are not irrational. In fact, yours is probably the best kind of defense of materialism that can be given. It definit...
I will answer these objections one by one. First to Dalia: It's not my senses that are important. There is an objective truth that goes beyond the ind...
