Yeah, well that's one take on it -- riddled with fallacy. "As such, both are devoid of any substantiality and reality."
lol -- um, that conclusion doesn't follow. But it raffirms that you're always tryin' to get there. Like only in reality not existing can you catch a breath and have some peace. Its always the nihilist's who have such strong feelings about what reality is because they are fleeing fastest :) Sx3tony, The mind-brain relationship has just begun being scientifically investigated by a larger community in the 90's (for better or worse) -- I would start with "David Chalmer's" homepage. Searle, Penrose, and others have drastically differing views, but he is a central figure (if not for his own flawed ideas) for his open-mindedness and clear thinking and heads a community which is cross-disciplined between neurology/philosphy/quantum physics (but still unfortunately lacking in Easten 'religion'). But the short answer is we don't know. There's definitiely some relationship between neural activity and epiphenomenal perception... but there hasn't been (and by some arguments there can't be) a description of the inter-relationship... and ultimately, no matter how scientifically sound a relationship IS defined, one is still left to believe it based on faith/observation... which is where we started. Before delving too deeply in this complex subject, I'd be sure you have understood your motivation for doing so (like you're commissioned to write a book or something) or you may waste as much time as I have.
