The conversation between human and AI assistant.
If the brain is just wires in fat, how is it different from a flashlight? How can it be conscious? Is dualism actually true?
Interesting. Can you tell me more about the materialist view of the mind and brain?
Materialism posits that everything, including the mind and consciousness, can be explained by physical processes. In this view, the mind and brain are not separate entities, but rather the mind is a product of the physical processes of the brain.
