I'm not suggesting that thought isn't created, transported or received physically. I'm suggesting thought doesn't physically exist on it's own.
Yeah, you're saying that without evidence.
There's no reason to believe it's anything separate to the physical workings to the brain. Why do you need to add 'thought' on top of that...why can't thought simply be part of it...and part of the physical universe, like everything else we know of?
Why make an exception?
