RE: The brain
It's pragmatic but when use dogmatically, it makes no sense as it's in it's foundation is circular.

Drich is still stuck with the fact that scientists exist in the Muslim world, the Jewish world, the Buddhist world and Hindu world.

Nope sorry Drippy, there is no evidence that we are more than just our brain in motion. If that were the case we could decapitate our heads and re attach them and come back in a fully lucid state.

RE: The brain
Joel Feinberg and Russ Shafer-Landau note that "using the scientific method to judge the scientific method is circular reasoning". Scientists attempt to discover the laws of nature and to predict what will happen in the future, based on those laws. However, per David Hume's problem of induction, science cannot be proven inductively by empirical evidence, and thus science cannot be proven scientifically. An appeal to a [i]principle of the uniformity of nature[/i] would be required to deductively necessitate the continued accuracy of predictions based on laws that have only succeeded in generalizing past observations. But as observed, "The method of 'postulating' what we want has many advantages; they are the same as the advantages of theft over honest toil".

You still after all of this don't understand.

I am saying the brain is a neural transmitter and receiver. basically it sends and receives like a computer hooked up to the cloud or internet. I also saying there is very little RAM avaible, that everything could be done (consciousness wise) off site/in the cloud.

So when you sever you head you wake up in the cloud.

Now if your memories were all self contained in your brain what you described "hooking up to a different body" could be possible. But if your brain is a transmitter/receiver/computer hooked up the interebs and the http host "woke up from the matrix" then you would remain dead.

I doubt that we;d find many people with the courage of their convictions in this, yourself least of all....but you could arrange an experiment to test your hypothesis.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

When I do it chemically, I wake up in a fog. This what you mean?

Now if only you had some evidence that this is the case, then you might have something.

Where is this cloud? How far away is it?
