Emergence of mind!

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

Emergence of mind!

Post by bahman »

Here I provide an argument against the emergence of mind: 1) Mind is the byproduct of matter activity, 2) Matter activity is caused by the mind, 3) This requires that mind exists and exists not at the same point (exists to cause matter activity and exists not to be caused by matter) 4) Something cannot exists and exists not at the same point, 5) Therefore (3) is wrong, 6) (2) cannot be wrong (for example, it is evident that your mind causes your hands to move), 7) Therefore (1) is wrong.
