Mind = Brain?
RE: Mind = Brain?
(December 24, 2009 at 8:25 am)theVOID Wrote: I see it more like a computer with the senses and limbs etc being peripherals, the physical body like the motherboard and the brain like the CPU and RAM which is doing the calculations for the OS/Mind - buit i gota admit it's a super simplistic analogy.
Well, that's a very common case of oversimplification considering the minute advances. It equates to blind faith if you believe that the CPU in your computer has any experience of the information it processes. But with enough speculation we'll all be computers really soon. Wink
