Imagine what would happen if we transplanted a head, or full brain, and the consciousness self would still remain the same, like with other organ transplantation. We'll see! I am saying: we can guess, but we don't know. I am not s

Can you point me to a paper or other source that proves that the brain is the seat of consciousness? Or that disproves other theories? I am familiar with the works of Oliver Sacks, Paul Broks, and others, who have spent their lives rese

Well what do you think would happen? I would think that at least a couple dozen of those 100 random people will report to the police. These reports can be used in court, and may or may not convince the judge that you're also one of the

It's a mistake to assume courts need "proof" for a ruling. It's totally sufficient if courts find that it's just the most likely. "Not guilty until proven innocent". If you receive child porn in your mailb
