The Brain=Mind Fallacy

[StatCrux]

The problem is that you're equating the concept of thought with the process of thought. Going back to the analogy, the process of thought cannot be seen in same way as speed with a car, speed is not a process occurring in the car.

The process of the fuel burning in cylinders to move pistons and the crank shaft and gears and wheels is the process whereby the behavior of the car attains speed. So the concept of the speed reflects the result of the process.
The process of the neurons (in your case, neuron) firing in a prospcribed manner and causing your brain the process and catagorize information and generating signals and commandes to give you perception and actuation is the process whereby the behavior of brain attains thought. So the concept of thought reflects the result of the process.

We're getting there...so now you've moved the goalposts and introduced a separate process. So are you now saying that thought is a non-physical abstract concept which emerges from a physical process? (neurons firing etc) That's the analogy car=brain, fuel etc=neurons, speed=thought? Is that your position, which is what I said in the first place..thanks for seeing the flaw and having to add the fuel system etc..oh and recognizing thought as distinct from the actual process itself.
