The Brain=Mind Fallacy

[Ace Otana]

"Information" is consciousness without personality isn't it? Say you see a Van Gogh - you don't process it as pure information - you understand it together with trying to understand the personality that created it. Memories of you held by your loved ones you wouldn't describe as information without feelings attached would you?

The person you are comes mostly if not entirely from memory. Which is completely physical.
Information comes from your eyes. That information is sent to the brain to be translated and that data will be stored in your memory and that memory can affect the person you are. I don't think there is a transference of thought, and that thought is merely the combination of data being sent from one part of the brain to the other. Depending on what information you receive from your senses is what determines if you can understand it, and subconsciously activate certain chemicals. Like love if the sight of someone hot comes into view. Senses constantly sending data, brain translates it and stores that data, depending on what's been translated will determine what other parts of the brain will be used and which chemicals fire causing emotion/feeling.

I can only say so much on the topic, I'm still learning.
