The people who have been making discoveries about the mind and the brain were studying what they know, and learning more as they went along. It may seem as if they are turning your world on its ear, but much of this stuff was starting to be understood more than a century ago and much of the present work is building on research that is 30-50 years old. This isn't something that they're beginning to piece together; it's the result of decades of ongoing research and experimentation.
In other words, you are clinging to beliefs that were already becoming obsolete when you first heard about them. Today they only survive because so many people stubbornly hang on to them in the face of growing evidence to the contrary. A few hundred years ago people may have believed that the earth was the center of the universe. A few hundred years from now they'll be mocking us for believing in spirits and souls. Your gods are being trampled under the inexorable march of progress.
You are absolutely hilarious Ton.
With the capitalist system on the brink of total collapse you reckon that we are progressing?
You got to be joking mate.
But let us stick to your researchers.
Oh, they date back a century ago!
Well, well Ton, Shiva date back not hundreds but few thousand years and his system is still valid these days.
But let us see who will have the last laugh.
Those who guess that the mind is a product of the brain or those who say the opposite?
You want to bet Ton and see whether the vehicle produce the driver or the driver produce or better say get inserted into the right vehicle (body-brain)?
How much are you prepared to bet Ton?
