Or, we use those terms metaphorically to help understand esoteric concepts. The mind is the moving average of the unbroken chain of electrochemical interactions between neurons. It’s like a symphony of interconnected brain cells squirting neurotransmitters at each other to form a Rube Goldbergesque stimulus monster.
An orchestra is made of players and instruments and written music and all of the practice and training. The music they play is not one thing, but the combination of all things, yet we speak of the song as if it were an object.
It’s the same with the mind. We think of it as a discrete, functioning machine, but really it is the product of a million tiny machines working together.
This is so eloquent
Emergent object.
Is this news to you? People are made out of matter, we’re all objects.
But the mind isn’t an object, you can’t touch the mind. Not with your hands anyway
You can bend or break rules, laws, and your waifu as well. Are they objects or concepts?
You can absolutely touch the mind, it’s just inside your skull so it’s hard to get at. What an inane thread.
Sounds like somebody doesn’t know the difference between their mind and their brain
Don’t let the feminists hear that you basically called women objects lol
Good one.
Mind can neither break nor bend. It’s a figure of speech, dummy.
TIL Wolverines claws are not objects.
Are “the rules” also an object?
And so is information. Inside or outside the mind.
