    What proof do you want? We can explain everything in the brain. We know how neurons work, we know how they interact. We even know, where specific parts of “you” are in your brain.

    The only thing missing is the exact map. What you are lacking is the concept of emergence. Seriously, look it up. Extremely simple rules can explain extremely sophisticated behavior.

    Your stance is somewhere between “thunder go boom! Must be scary man in sky!” And “magnets! Can’t explain how they work!”.

        OF WHAT? There’s nothing to give you. I could lay out an exact map of your brain and you would still complain. You obviously just desperately want there to be some magic, because everything else would just implode your world. There is no magic.

        Also, if you want your pseudoscientific parlance: non-existence can’t be proven. However, you’re arguing for the existence of something. It’s your burden to prove it.

          The burden of proof is on you, not me.

          If there’s nothing to give me then I guess you’re agreeing it’s not so straightforward.

          You can go away now. 🥂 cheers.
