Mind = Brain?

[theVOID]

Oh, i thought you were suggesting that you could have thoughts outside of the brain I think i see what you were saying now

I thought it was a pretty good analogy, actually. However, it was aimed more at humor than at being completely alike to the brain's processes...

First you need the thought it's self <and to get that, what do you need first? You need a brain>, then you need perception to be able to define it as a thought <which you need a brain to do>, you need imagination to conceptualize the thought <insert action of the brain here>, you need memory to store the thought <another part of the brain>, you need willpower to retrieve specifically that thought memory <Do you really? But in any case: still reliant on the brain>, reason to define a meaningful context for the thought <All this brainwork is making my brain hurt!>, all of which will stir some level of emotional reaction <Will it? Either way: reliant upon the brain>. Thinking about your thoughts leads to a fairly encompassing example.

I think we need to think harder ^_^ My point was under the assumption that you were arguing that these things could occur without the brain, otherwise we should be agreeing upon the point that point A has to exist if I'm going to jog to point A and back

I have no idea how you managed to get from my post to me suggesting that you don't need a brain to think - it's a bit like going from "I can't explain the universe" to "Jesus rules!"
