Mind/Brain or Who and What are you?

What makes the brain different from all of the other organs in the body? It is simply because the brain is smarter than those poor dumb and deluded organs who just sit around and do what they are told... kinda like 0bama supporters...

"We have a physical organ called BRAIN, We speak of it's workings as MIND." We may speak that way but that is not sufficient to show the same is true. What this statement claims is a crude version of functionality. No theory of this kind has been described that is without problems. We can say that the brain is necessary for mind but little more. In order to say mind is a function of brain we would need to show that a state of mind has the same properties as a brain state; by Liebniz law, that which is identical has identical properties. Yet, the mind has properties that are not possessed by the functioning of the brain, therefore function in of the brain is not identical with mind. Also it is misleading to say we have an organ called the brain, since it presupposes that the brain is not us. Unfortunately we suffer from a misleading picture that has become ingrained in our thinking, that originates with Descartes, namely that of dualism, and gives rise to the notion that the body is like a car with the mind as driver. This I think is wrong. Mind/body is one complex all the best urban

Nothing makes the brain different from any other organ. We are spiritual beings in our true natures. The connection is made in the brain. If we weren't in our physical body, you would have an empty body some refer to as a vegetable. Oh, Eat those veggies. They are healthier than all that junk food. If it's processed by mankind, watch out. Natural from God is great. Plant that garden!!

This is a truly fascinating issue. I think that generations of philosophers an neurobiologists have tried to explain this specific issue without much success. The only consideration i feel to make on this is just that even if the basic physical processes of the brain are simple chemistry, the complexity of the billions of interconnection between all the neurons makes the brain special. Its complexity and non linearity makes it unique with regards to pretty much anything else in the universe. Furthermore i personally believe that trying to explain the human mind and soul in an excessively mechanicistic is at best reductive. All the feelings and the sensations can be understood in terms of chemicals, but the awareness of itself is something that trascend physics and chemistry in my opinion. There is an interesting thought experiment used in the field of artificial intelligence and is that of the chinese room. It basically explains the difficulty of defining real intelligence. The experiment is this: if a person that doesn't understand chinese is given a sufficiently complete table that associates to every possible question an answer (i.e. a program) this person could efficiently fool an external observer who has to understand if this persone effectively understands chinese, while all this person does is following a program without really understanding anything. So a real brain does not just act according to some predefined instructions hardcoded in our biology or in our education, it really understands the concept that underlie those question that require us to act. It is conscient, it does not merely associate an output to a given input, and i really thing that there is nothing in physics or chemistry that will ever explain that.

our brain is one of our vital organ than we can not function properly without. It tells us how to respond to every action we encounter in our live, such as when we are hungry or sad, tired or sleep. The capacity of this organ is insurmountable we can not control the works of the brain. so, we are not left to our own demise without the opportunity to be ration about what the brain has put forth before you make any decisions. Thank goodness for our braitns, otherwise we would not be able to think and make rational choices.

For me I have a brain and mind also because I'm normal person not like the abnormal.
