No. Your mind is your brain and nothing else. It's part of your body.

>Your mind is your brain

You mean a result of the latter?

It is irrefutable there is a mind. Without a mind how can we observe the body. Without a mind how can we observe the world. Without a mind how can we observe the mind. From a purely materialistic viewpoint the question of why are we concious is immediatelly disproven by the assumption that all there is is the material. It is not possible to refute this burning question every single human thinks about and has thought about.

oh just wait until that user comes along who thinks experience does not exist.

Yea. If experience doesn't exist what's the exp bar for?

>there are people here who think minds, in spite of being manifestly linked to physical mechanisms such as a well-functioning brain, aren't metaphysical

>corpses have minds
that's real spoopy

I think the real debate is rove whether the mind is correlated or caused by the body. Can mental processes by explained fully by sending/recieving chemical neuro transmitters or electrical impulses?

The universe is Mental.

>in spite of being manifestly linked to physical mechanisms such as a well-functioning brain, aren't metaphysical

How can it be metaphysical if it is manifestly linked to the physical?

Doesn't that just mean mind is completely physical?

Consciousness is nothing more than an illusion.

An illusion to whom?

Sure, but what does that change?

This guy gets it.

>your brain

>quoting nobody
>speaking to yourself

Sorry smartass, but the mind in your head is split also. Get help.

>mind
>split

...

Think. Why does the illusion of self exist? What interest does it serve?

>Reductionist scientists continually shilling daniel dennets mind = brain
>Dualistic philosophers continually shilling Descartes' separation of mind and body

When will Philosophers and Scientists finally accept their true saviour? The man to my left.

Nice name drop.

What?

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Does consciousness make sense on it's own?
Why are you conscious you cunt? Can you explain this?

An illusion to whom?
