Towards Proving that the Mind is Immaterial
We know a lot, today, about the inner workings of the brain. However, brain sentience remains as thick a mystery as ever—despite claims to the contrary and after decades of top-notch research. Is it because the square peg of consciousness will never fit into the round hole of matter? I believe so…
