But when I make a couple assumptions, I observe (assume I observe?) that 100% of thought is found in a brain. We can even tease a brain into changing the thought it produces with drugs, disease, and injury. Using sensors we can map areas of the brain associated with different types of thought. 100% brain is all we get.
Does that mean there is no way there is a ghost in the machine? I suppose not. But as you say, 100% is compelling. At least some of the time anyway?
