What I'm arguing is that you do not know WHAT about the brain allows for qualia, and that some levels of organization aren't unique to the brain.You consistently confuse sufficiency, with satisfaction or totality. The hypothesis we have are -sufficient-, which is not the same as saying they are true. It simply means that they -could be- true. If they were not..they would not satisfy the basic conditions of a working scientific hypothesis. Sufficiency is a measure of whether or not something -can- explain x...not whether or not it -does-. The distinction is subtle, and important.
Quote:The qualitative human mental experience is for sure of the brain. The existence of mind rather than the lack of existence of mind is not demonstrably so. I'd call that qualitative experience "psychology," and the existential question "psychogony."Which, again, is an empty set without the nuerology end of it. Frankly, when you ask what -allows- for this you are explicitly asking me about nuerology. Which is why it's then futile to talk about brain waving, or insist that we're really just limiting ourselves to psychology or psychogeny in this. You're -asking- for it, and then complaining when you -get- it.
