Mind is the brain?

[bennyboy]

Here's something to mull over.  If the sum total of your objection is to turn everything into a computer (to remove the identity of the descriptors referent)...and you feel that everything has "spark of mind"....are you actually objecting to comp mind, or agreeing with it?

I still haven't seen a simple thesis statement for your theory, so I cannot really say whether I agree with it.

My idea at least with regard to a physical world view is that mind is intrinsic to matter, i.e. it's matter-mind, and that just as with physical objects, when elements are brought together in complex ways, neat stuff gets built. Saying that anything causes mind, or is mind, doesn't really mean that much. What is significant in people isn't the existence of mind, but the way it manifests: our perceptions of forms, colors, etc.
