*(JM):Physical sciences - so far - never explained the MENTAL activity assigned to brains (guts?)(Brent:) No, but they explained a lack of mental activity in the brain due to a variety of different chemical and physical cause*
I would not use "mental activity in the brain" - rather *the explanation* referred to connectivity to (some?) mentality action INFLUENCING (or what?) the brain's measurable data. No hint where such came from. Furthermore Brent wrote: *So it was no merely assumed, but based on empirical observation of what * *interferes with mental processes.* The 'empirical observation' was noticing coincidence (or not) between the measurable tissue-data and the mental activity. I still hold no intrinsic connectivity *What Kind Of TOPICAL ISSUES* in mental items could be expressed by what kind of data measured on (brain - or else) tissues. *I abstain from asking "where" is that mentality (center?) - it may not be * *a localizable (or even temporarily traceable) locus. * *We know so little!* *John Mikes* On Mon, Feb 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM, Brent Meeker <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 2/15/2016 12:38 PM, John Mikes wrote: > > JKC wrote: " > Giuseppe Peano > did not have > a brain made of matter that obeyed the laws of physics > ?!
