brain vs mind

[drewh4386]

did you "really ask" me that?

or "was" it the brain?

Don't "mind" me.......

[submersed]

how bout you help answer the question instead? does the mind exist?

[drewh4386]

ok now I and confused. Did your mind ask my mind that question? Or was it your brain asking my mind? or your mind asking my brain? or your brain asking my brain?

[submersed]

Yes. The fact that we are having this conversation is proof that the grey matter in our heads is not just sitting there, but is actively creating a consciousness.


I believe by "wake up" you were being encouraged to begin to think for yourself rather than continually ask similar questions over and over.

Yes, and it's called the path to irritation and anger. If you have a point to make, make it and discuss it. If not, quit beating about the bush like some digolbick imitator.

A few hundred years ago they thought the brain was a useless organ and that thought came from spirits whizzing around in the empty spaces of your head, like the septum...

A few thousand years ago, I think they were closer, in believing that thoughts and feeling were generated by the heart and not the brain,
Again in there knowlage the brain was not used...

we now "know" that the brain is responsible for thoughts that are generated, we can tell this by using tests in which a concious patient has part of there scull removed and during brain surgery they use mild shocks to induce different reactions, such as a vivid smell, part of a long forgotten song, memories of childhood, loss of speech capabilities or recognition, and the normal twitches of the limbs

The brain is a complex organ and before the use of the above mentioned techniques the main way we learned about how it worked was autopsies of people who had suffered from stroke and loss use of something, like a man that can no longer put together a face, just sees noses eyes and mouths, so the part of the brain that was liquified by the stroke was facial recognition



Again, The brain is an organ,
The mind is the individual processes of thoughts that your brain uses as opposed to other peoples

This thread is The brain is a physical piece of matter inside the cranium. The mind is metaphysical. It's each person's own thoughts, beliefs, actions, that are produced by the brains nerves and pulses.

How is this thread gay...
You've just restated pretty much the same ideas that we all said...

Are you trying to tell us something about yourself...

[sivic02]

No use in fighting guys, this is all in your minds. And since our minds arent technically "real" its just a desription of what goes on in our brains, your arguing over nothing....think about it.

Because there is an obvious difference b/w a brain and mind. The thread starter for some reason can't comprehend anything yall have said. He's like a three year old who continues to ask 'why' after you answer every question.
