Modal Argument: The Mind is Not the Brain

[Bucky Ball]

You're really THAT desperate ?
YOU set the thermometer. It did not set itself. YOU have a brain. It's YOUR goal, not the thermometer's goal.
Try try again.

So you resort to special pleading? Your philosophy has no basis for assigning mentation to one physical process as opposed to another.

BTW, that's not Special Pleading, unless you're actually trying to say that thermometers think.

What it (your thermometer bs), is however, is the Fallacy of the False Analogy.
Try harder.
