What do you mean ?
That the mind is created in by another piece of matter, other than the brain ?
Or that there is "something" that is not matter (that incidentally produces the brain)?
What is weird is assuming the existence of something that is not matter so that by definition cannot be observed or measured.
Personally I love to assume there is a teapot orbiting Saturn (cf Bertrand Russell)
Can you disprove that ?
- the_af 8y agoI cannot answer for the parent poster (actually, I cannot answer at all :P ), but the author of TFA posits that the mind is created -- or co-evolved with -- not by the brain alone, but also by the body, the environment and even by society itself. It's an argument against the brain-in-a-jar trope, and I think it's an empirical argument, unlike Russell's teapot.
