There is no reason for this to be simply an opinion at
this stage in this new century. This notion is not
just another fluffy ideology. The point is that there
are objective scientific facts that indicate that
terms such as mind, soul, self, etc are most likely
particular configurations of the electrical activity
of the brain. Knowledge of specific details of these
configurations is about to be uncovered. The
enthusiasm is palpable. All signs portend an
intellectual upheaval that would dwarf Copernican and
Darwinian revolutions. It would be mighty interesting
to see how our religious institutions, theistic and
atheistic ideologies, and legal and political systems
react to it.
Cheers,
Santosh
