RE: Mind/matter duality
May 29, 2013 at 12:38 am (This post was last modified: May 29, 2013 at 12:38 am by Baalzebutt.)
The mind is the product if the brain. Without the brain, the mind does not exist. Therefore, consciousness is tied to the brain and is a result of the physical processes thereof.

To apply special meaning or "supernatural" significance to it is akin to a spiritual argument that requires something more than a simple assertion to give it any true weight.
