Truly, it is irrational to think of the psyche as an epiphenomenon of the physical brain, a secondary phenomenon which cannot cause anything to happen.
And what a penetrating insight to the presupposition of cause/effect, that it is based on experience and not reason.
The usual arguments given are that physical brain injury affects the mind and that responses can be physically provoked.
The latter is puppetry and actually makes the point that the brain is the tool the mind uses.
And the former is no more remarkable than the kind of changes one would expect in the performance of his television or computer if he took a hammer to it.
Well and truly said, dearest sister in Christ!
Thank you so very much for your kind words of support!
