@ Arcanus
Just thought I'd say something on the matter of brain states.
There is indeed evidence that if the brain gets damaged then this affects your memory and behavior, etc.
And I have no evidence for thought or any brain states being seperate to the brain in any way.
I have evidence of brain states being anything extra. Do you?
Untill I know of such evidence I will not believe they are anything extra. Because, I believe it is more parsimonious, and probable, to just believe they are basically the brain, untill there is any evidence whatsoever to the contrary.
It is the less complex hypothesis I think...
They certainly aren't necessarily Indentical to the brain, but for me the question is - why believe anything extra unless you've got any evidence?
So, what do you think about that Arcanus?
