> Our bodies are just a way to move our sub-conscious around. We spend most of our lives in our own sub-conscious because our brain likes to do stuff. The brain is in charge, not the body, and the brain is just as interested in solving problems in Minecraft as it is getting hands to move lego-bricks around a table.
Errrh. I like gaming but dualism is a poor excuse for that (and one I believe to be very wrong both empirically and philosophically).
- AgentME 11y agoI don't think the author was trying to go for anything metaphysical there.
- harryjo 11y agoWorse, physical. The author is claiming that body exists to serve the mind, and as no needs of own. Nutrition and exercise/atrophy and vitamin D production give the lie to the claim that playing outside is equivalent to playing minecraft.
