Quote:I don't think your counter-examples are sufficiently similar to mind to draw conclusions from, at least for me.Then your comments regarding systems, effects, and the relationship between them could not support your statements- even if they were correct - which they demonstrably aren't.
The problem that you propose, requiring magic, simply does not exist for systems and their effects (or for mind/brain upon those grounds), and you are not willing to modify your statements about systems and effects when presented with clear counterexamples. Mind/Brain is different than systems and their effects when those systems plainly do precede their effects. Fine. So, I assume you had a system in mind which you did think was similar enough..and of which this statement regarding their effects -is- true.......since you began all of this by means of observing the relationship between systems and effects......?
Hey, don't get me wrong, maybe the brain/mind bit is different, and maybe mind did arise simultaneously with a brain that could support it - but regardless of whether either is true it won't be for any reason you've given in this thread.
