They aren't, and they interact more than we presume

I don’t believe your mind is separate from your body

I would get into arguments with right-leaning people who grant that intelligence/IQ is heritable yet still cling to mind-body dualism.

I don't believe in free will and ascribe to a sort of bio-deterministic materialism which pisses off a lot of people lol

A gun in a gun free zone? Say it isn't so!!!

in that case you're dying a lot

The mind is a concept that derivates from the brain

since your cells are dying and being made a new

Well I do believe in free will in a certain degree

at some point you have new brain

as such the old you is dead

you're a copy of yourself

@devpav yeah that frustrates me

I don't believe in free will at all.

i don't think either side is right 😛

they'll adopt biodeterminism only when it confirms their existing biases

there's no ghost but consciousness information etc.. i think it is separate

I think we just don’t know for certain

and body is just a container for it

If it was separate we could measure it

But I do thing we should have personal responsibility

I kinda notice that with the right on a lot of things actually, though the left no doubt does it any less so

that's why i'll freeze my brain in hopes i'll get uploaded to computer at some point 😄

We can't there is not proof of the inmaterial

there is a measurement

And if you don’t have free will then how do you have responsibility

I believe in free will as a local interpretation, and should be respected, because we can't know the greater scheme

you're dead you don't work, you don't create any more information

@Montgomereeeee you don't and that's why the idea is dangerous

you're just gone

I do believe free will is a thing

But is biased due to our genes

And culture

there you go a measuring method 😛

conservatively minded people operate on the idea that all information that is useless or harmful is invalid

we got some free will prolly ;p

The information is encoded by the neural network not the individual neuron. Physically encoding the information requires an ensemble of neurons.

@ThreeOfOne I do think we have free will but we all have right to our views

the reality of free will is useless because it abdicates people of responsibility and therefore invalid

Yep aka the brain itself is the mind

that's not what I believe, but it's what conservatives think
