I think you just broke Liebniz' law. Isst kaput.


Liebenz' law is actually what substantiates P3.
Quote:If x is identical to y, then for any property x has, y has and for any property y has, x has.
this means if the mind is identical to the brain, then any property the mind has the brain has. if the mind has a property the brain doesn't, then they are not identical.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
