Heck, what then is a "Mind"?
Is a mind always a collection of sufficient neurons?
Is it something else?
Just posting "X is simply 'X'." deosn't actually offer anything to some one else who's trying to parse the thoughts actually in your head.
(That's another side question. Do 'Minds' always reside within neurons within bodys?)
Cheers.
Not at work.
I didn't say that X is X or that mind is mind. I said that a mind is something that has consciousness.
What has consciousness? Things that are minds. Do you mean to ask what consciousness is? Or do you know what it is?
(I wouldn't say that minds always reside in neurons within bodies. Perhaps minds resides in neurons? I doubt it. I suspect that, instead, minds reside within the combination of neurons within bodies. Although, that was probably what you meant to ask anyway. So, do minds always reside within the combination of neurons within bodies? I doubt it. Do they sometimes? Yes. Certainly. Do they always? I doubt it).
