The mind and the body are one. We think they are separate because human minds are so powerful and vast compared to the rest of nature. We are our minds!

The mind-body problem is an ancient philosophical debate still undecided. What do you know 2100 years of philosophy doesn't?

Most of the important questions are philosophical questions.

Is not undecided. Medical science decided it

The mind and the body are one

Science> Philosophy

I took a philosophy class and they talked about the mind body problem. Its stupid since medical science has the answer to this

Our consciousness is more than the physical body. It is also the animating force within it.

The brain is able to perceive consciousnesses that aren't part of reality that go by entire different sets of rules and where reality's timeline plays no factor at all. Creativity is limitless

Science understands shockingly little about the brain and even less about the nature of consciousness.

You can probably extend your perception of the length of your life by being put into a long term coma where you can dream. Although you might get bored and run out of things to dream about.

Consciousness is an effect, the result of physical processes.
