Is personal identity really just mind?
#16
RE: Is personal identity really just mind?
I don't think you can ever separate the 2.
For a million years we've just wanted to sling shit from our trees and mate.
Our bodies are not life support for our "mind".
Mother nature doesn't have a master plan to one day make us brains in vats.

Who we are is still just the sum of our parts.
Every molecule in our body defines us.
Make the slightest change and you are a different entity.
Eg: identical twins are never identical, etc

Not worrying about being eaten by the next bigger carnivore gives us more time now think weird shit up...that's all.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
