Why can't consciousness be from both the material and the immaterial? If a chemical alters perception, that just shows that consciousness is strongly affected

Why can't consciousness be from both the material and the immaterial?
If a chemical alters perception, that just shows that consciousness is strongly affected by the material, but other non-contradictory hypotheses aren't thus disproven.
- guythedudebro 5y agoSure, it could be. I never said otherwise. However, I am unsure what good evidence for a corresponding immaterial part might look like.
- TimTheTinker 5y agoIf you're looking for physical evidence, perhaps brain signals that don't have a material origin? But that would be very difficult to establish. I think a better approach is philosophical, by considering the nature of thought and the spoken word.
