On the Basis of Your "Invasive ElectroMagnetic Insults" Alone, the "Concept" of "Mind" HAS to be Far more Impervious to "Radiation" than we previously Surmized!

Even our "Best Minds" are STILL BAFFLED by the Concept of "Human Intellect!!"

WHAT FUN!!!

Of course, this really is a very important, serious topic, overflowing with philosophical, scientific, and religious meaning, and perhaps I ought to be addressing it with more weight, but as presented it seemed to call for a lighter touch.

On the other hand, I really believe that some of those "best minds" are far too willing to believe that understanding the brain is all that is required for understanding the mind. Just as we have found that DNA chemistry may not be enough to completely account for how the body works - Protein chemistry may be the details in which that devil resides - so consciousness may require a whole lot more than just mapping neuron connections.
