Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: How did we realise the mind is in the brain? by theembryo

...eh, that's like saying that software doesn't physically exist.

But it does. The pattern in the RAM and CPU is a real electrical charge and has real physical manifestation. Same with the pattern of connections, electrochemical signals, and hormones in the head.

Lemme make that clear. You're claiming something exists, but doesn't physically exist, like it exists outside of physics or something. It's bullshit.

Yes, you are right. That's what I'm trying to tell in a simple way. And I haven't said that there isn't a thing like mind. I just said don't try to see it in a physical way...like your software example, it does not physically exist but it involves with other physical parts and it's an essential thing to function properly. Same matter for mind.

Huh? You can't say I'm right and then double down on being wrong.

Software DOES physically exist. I just explained how and where.
