Holy batman on stick! I know you disagree with the OP but don't feed the woo mongers. I merely get a lip twitch when you use language like that, thats all. Not mad at you at all.
TO THE OP........ONCE AGAIN
"Speed" is the product of the car going faster. "speed" is not a thing but an abstract word to describe a motion.
I HATE THE WORD "MIND" it is a stupid word. We are nothing but our brains in motion.
Speed cannot exist outside the car. Thoughts cannot occur without a brain.
This is nothing but woo in attempt to claim that the "MIND" can be separated from the brain. A bullshit argument. It is a stupid woo attempt to claim that we are more than a biological process, we are not.
If someone wants to argue that "we" are separate from our brains, or can be separated from our brains, they might as well argue that a hurricane can be separated from the atmosphere. IT IS A STUPID ARGUMENT.
Don't feed the woo mongers.
I want to put an end to this stupid argument. NOW FOR THE RECORD, DON'T DO WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SUGGEST, YOU WILL DIE.
If someone really thinks that we are separate from biology and that we can outlive our bodies, then decapitate your head, or blow it off with a shotgun.
What? Come on, your thoughts are not your brain, so you don't need it right?
THIS IS WHY IT IS A STUPID FUCKING ARGUMENT!
I don't care if you are a Taoist, Buddhist, Christian or pantheist. WE are only nature, there is no such thing as super natural, we do not exist outside biology, and once our brain dies, we die.
Woo is woo is woo. Fantasy will never replace reality no matter who postulates that credulity or how badly they want it to be true.
