The mind is a made up term for people who don’t understand the details of consciousness. It’s a generic comprehensive term.
Like universe, body, weather, ....
They are just comprehensive general despriptors, used rather than identifying specific detailed attributes.
True. But if we don’t give things a “word/name”...we can’t discuss them.
All words are made up terms. And some are just shorthand so that people know what we’re talking about when we discuss a subject.
Sometimes people can discuss a subject without having full knowledge of the details. I can discuss my HVAC system with my plumber by using semi generic terms that allows us to complete successful communication without me becoming an expert HVAC system installer.
