Why not deism?

[Peebothuhlu]

To me, a mind is just a thing that has consciousness. Why? Because if you were to say that X has consciousness but X isn't a mind then that would seem to make no sense at all.

So... what has "Consciousness"?

Heck, what then is a "Mind"?

Is a mind always a collection of sufficient neurons?

Is it something else?

Just posting "X is simply 'X'." deosn't actually offer anything to some one else who's trying to parse the thoughts actually in your head.

(That's another side question. Do 'Minds' always reside within neurons within bodys?)

Cheers.

Not at work.
