Please Luc do me a favor.
Ask your professor who decide to start the action.
The I the mind or the brain and if there is any difference between the I the mind and the brain.
I have been asking so many peopleand no one could tell me for sure.
I am sure that your professor will know the answer.
Please help LR to understand.
1) I asked you a question. This is not an answer to it.
2) The point is exactly that we still do not know for sure how exactly consciousness works. From what we know, we can only infer that it is linked to very complex functions of the brain. There are thousands of people around the world that have been working their asses off for their entire lives trying to gain - inch by inch - a little more understanding about these incredibly complex issues. And there is plenty of peer-reviewed literature (not to mention entire textbooks) to prove that - slowly but surely- we are getting there. And it really does piss me off when you just throw your opinion around like it's absolute fact - like this:

On the other hand, it seems like you just take a shit on all of these people's efforts and just say "Yeah it's spiritual and magic I'm 100% sure because permanent happiness or whatever".
Where I'm from, we have a saying that goes: "Nessuno nasce imparato" ("Nobody is born learned" - even though in Italian it is grammatically incorrect lol). Please do take it to heart. You'll find it will improve the quality of conversation with you a great deal.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
