Modal Argument: The Mind is Not the Brain

[Esquilax]

Your definition of knowing there's a mind and mine are not the same. I could do the same to YOU and not know in an absolute sense that there is an actual mind there, rather than a philosophical zombie brain that BEHAVES aware but isn't. Basically, I have to start with solipsism, and then choose what assumptions I'm willing to make.

Then the conversation is kind of over, since someone starting with the useless idea of solipsism can just move the goalposts back with another layer of reality-clouding obfuscation the moment anything is proved to them.

Moreover, it takes a special kind of contrarian to look at all the evidence distinctly for the idea of a mind, and then decide that rather than the natural conclusion being true, everything is just pretending like this is so, despite having absolutely no evidence of that.
