The mind, Doctor Watson
To what extent could humans be said to have soul, a mind that is, not something supernatural, and regarding all that goes into mental states are feelings observer independent real things having a real existance? Ignoring the words we use to make reference to it or them, are they a real thing as hard science would see it?
Or, is it the case that it requires a mind to comprehend a mind, that using an internal concept of mind is required to understand mind, that it is somewhat a generator of concepts of itself?
Not far back it was thought a small percentage of genes was useful and the rest were junk, then understanding of transcription, methylation, epigenetics etc came along and somewhat changed that picture.
What's the chances something similar will happen re the brain?
