Philosophy of Mind

[Darkneos]

Do you have anything to contribute yourself, accept appealing to authority and being negative and rude in the process?

Appeal to authority isn’t a fallacy when science is involved.

Do you have anything to add other than some links.

Considering you have nothing I need nothing.

Never mind that plank’s quote is literally god of the gaps fallacy. Furthermore it’s only an opinion, not a scientific fact.

26 June 2023. How does consciousness arise?
A 25-year-old bet has now been decided
Twenty-five years ago, a neuroscientist and a philosopher bet a case of fine wine on
whether scientists would have cracked the neural basis of consciousness by 2023.
Now, one of them conceded the prize

How is this relevant? We've always known that crows are pretty smart for birds, though they're the exception than the rule for birds.

Also, PAYWALLED ARTICLE. I mean honestly. I'm not subscribing for one article, just summarize it.

This section of the forum is for the discussion of anything to do with philosophy of mind.

For clarity, this includes anything to do with consciousness, cognitive science and artificial intelligence as well as traditional philosophy of mind.

Should this section also include threads on phenomenology? How about psychology? I'm not sure. I'll assume that this is the best place for such discussions, but if you radically disagree this thread would be a good place to say why.

Mind is a metaphor for the patterns on the brain which includes opinions, priorities, fears and desires, options, memories, experiences, knowledge, quirks, personality, character, consciousness, etc.

Seems to be the opposite to me. Mind is primary and you only know of brains and neurological patterns via the mind, so brains would be a metaphor, or model, of other minds. Minds model other minds as a perception of brains. Minds model the world as a perception of solid, static objects - think of converting analog to digital. The world is not made up of solid, static objects. It is more like the mind in that it is composed of information, processes, and/or relationships.

That’s just false. Evidence points to it just being the brain, no mind. All the modeling and studies show it. Mind is just an old and dated concept that has no evidence for it. Even if such a thing did exist there wouldn’t be anything for it to do.

Also mind can’t be primary and the world is very much made of solid static objects. What we call the “mind” is very much just brain processes. In fact everything you just mentioned is brain processes, not mind. We have no evidence for a mind.

Evidence points to it just being the brain, no mind.

What evidence?
