Thanks for the excellent and very helpful post #746 in the last Q thread.
In that post, the Scientific American link about mind control contains an inaccurate statement about the mind and the brain. My comments here are in the interest of keeping Freepers in touch with accurate information just as they do for me, and in the interest of exposing the errors of progressivism. This is the inaccurate statement:
“Of course, all our thoughts, sensations and actions arise from bioelectricity generated by neurons and transmitted through complex neural circuits inside our skull.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mind-control-by-cell/
In fact, the mind (thinking) and the brain (neurons) have not been demonstrated to be the same thing. In all of neuroscience, there is no literature that can explain a material basis for the mind-brain dichotomy.
I don’t care if you’re a neuroscientist at MIT, a psychiatrist at Cambridge or a foreman on the job site of an ongoing MKUltra project. The statement that all our thoughts come from the electrical workings of neurons is not a scientific statement, it is a philosophical one. In other words, it’s what they want to be true but they have no clue how it could be true, and they’ve never observed any causal connection.
Nobody knows how the ghost and the machine are connected, and nobody has ever demonstrated that matter creates spirit. I find it fascinating that those on the left of science and philosophy consistently want to say that it does.
Bottom line: Our electrical circuitry can be affected and partially controlled by external means. This can change our behavior, as the mentally deranged MKUltra operatives have exploited. But they don’t know what the will is, they don’t know what thinking is and they don’t know what the spirit is.
ThankQ! My brain feels bigger already!
thank you!
I read somewhere the average person only uses like 18.8% of their brain potential :^)

Frankly speaking, they also don’t know what energy is.
As stated by Richard Feynman:
“It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge what energy is.”
Thank you for that correction.
Absolutely true. The people you described want God and the eternal soul inhabiting each person to not exist, so they make such false statements as though they were proven fact.
Well said. Agreed.
