The Principle of Contingent Causation: The Impossibility of Infinite Regress.

[Bucky Ball]

But can you demonstrate that disembodied minds exist? I’ll save you the trouble: you can’t.

I can, that's just not the topic for it. The point was that we can conceive of disembodied minds. We have tons of stories about ghosts and all kinds of spirits that interact with reality, we had absolutely no problem making them up.

In fact, the concept of a disembodied mind is…wait for it…incoherent.

You probably forgot to check out the sizeable chunk of philosophy that says disembodied minds are a coherent concept.

Quote : "Even though the Cartesian mind-body dualism has largely been dismissed in contemporary philosophy, the idea that the conscious mind can be a bodiless and non-spatial entity is still held to be possible. This paper examines a series of arguments by Jaegwon Kim, Peter Strawson, and Immanuel Kant against the possibility of a disembodied mind. It is argued that although the concept of a disembodied mind is coherent, it derives from a more fundamental concept in which the mind and the body are originally unified"

It may be conceivable, but there is no known example, ... and science knows of no such example. We know how human brains work, ... neuro-science is quite advanced and no Neurologist or Neurosurgeon has ever proposed how the (known) complexity of working brains would work, be nourished or be oxygenated, or how known brain structures would work without a blood supply, Disembodied brains are a fantasy. There also is no such thing as a "mind" When brains are injured badly, they cease to function. There is no example of a mind functioning in the absence of a heathy brain. _ people with injured brains DIE.
