Since you are a newbie, you may not be aware of the many discussions and explanations I have furnished about the nature of the concept of "mind". Since the thread is about "The explanation of Life", I do not see it has fruitful to get into a childish pissing contest with you on an off-topic discussion that you have only a limited understanding of.
Then why don't you be a gentleman and do the noble thing by linking Ken who in my opinion is the only true gentleman here, to your threads regarding the nature of the concept of ''mind'' and stop acting like a pompous arse wannabe know it all.
There is a perfectly good search function. He can trawl my entire contribution in minute and find my most unguarded statement with which to bang me over the head with.
No need for me to find my best ones to shame him.
What has "shame" got to do with anything?
Is this not a philosophical forum? This to Me is a forum where we all come to become wiser. I thought this is where we come to learn from each other. I know I am extremely simple and do not grasp most of what human beings do, but I was absolutely clueless that anything was about shaming others, especially in philosophical discussions. I was on the understanding that most human beings already knew by now WHY some people understand and know some things while others do not understand and know the same things, and that that is perfectly normal to not know some thing, YET.
By the way some people speak around here they come across as though they KNOW some things, so I just thought when I ask them what do they know or what exactly is some thing, to them, I wrongly thought that they would just explain how they see that thing. I am only asking for their view, nothing else.
I was also on the understanding that because of how the Mind and the brain works that they already knew that what they perceive some thing is and how they view that thing as being, is only their own perception and not necessarily what is actually true, right, and correct. I am slow and simple but I am learning more all the time. What I am learning now is that some people actually believe, that on their own, that they actually KNOW what some things ARE and KNOW what is actually right and wrong in Life, and if others do not agree with their (own) knowledge or what they know, then they will just call the "others" degrading names and try to lower them and their views, in the hope that they can somehow make themselves upper and higher than the "others".
Some human beings really have learned to try to put others down by downgrading other's points of view, with non factual talk, instead of just supporting each other and helping each other to learn and understand more about Life, and how Life actually works. There does not really appear to be much more love-of-learning and teaching anymore among human beings. Degrading and ridicule seems to be the way to go in this age.
I do not understand why you would say anything about "banging over the head". I am just wondering what your explanation of the Mind is, from you, (your viewpoint). If I learn more, then great. If I do not, then great also. I never loose anything. As long as I remain open I just become wiser, either way.
I might be able to trawl your whole contribution in a minute with the search engine, but it will still take, especially, Me ages to read ALL of them to find what it is you want Me to find and see. Whereas 'you' know what you wrote and what the thinking is behind your explanation of what the Mind actually is that 'you' have, therefore it would be so much easier for you to guide or link us to your direct explanation of what exactly the Mind is, to 'you'. If you really want us to see it, I am pretty sure you would have guided us to it by now. Or, better still just provided one here.
