Mind = Brain?
#81
RE: Mind = Brain?
Ah yes of course.

I indeed did not make explicit use of it... and you can't really charge people with it through implicit usage too much, because that would be almost all of the time. Any time I assert something without stating that I only "think" or "believe" whether I have evidence on my side or not, would technically be an absolute assertion if interpreted totally formally.

I hereby declare that any accidental or 'implicit' usage of AaI on my part is not intended unless as some sort of joke, I am agnostic about absolutely everything (well, I think that I probably am almost certainly Wink).

Sorry, thought it was obvious. Rhizo guessed it right, AaI is short for Argumentum ad Ignorantiam.

Only to Rhizo since he's trying out what fits in there.
Must be like decoding the bible.
