I have recently been wondering, "Is there any evidence of mind?", or is it another article of faith? If there is evidence, what is in the list? Any thoughts?
Also, as I ponder slowly through Iain McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary", I continue to note that much of the long-winded, anxious left-hemispheric chatter about the clear supremacy of mind in the mind-body debate is also more like a categorical error couched in an inaccurate, archaic poorly framed and somewhat imaginary rationalization. Along the line of McGilchrist's storyline, again, it is the left hemispheric-type functions claiming supremacy for its own dear sweet self-ideal in a back-handed manner, basically, so it appears, on the grounds of hat and vocabulary size.
"Words, words, words!" the left hemisphere shouts, "With my words I am the center and knower of ALL!"
Yet, as McGilchrist illustrates, the wordful, and therefore always protein-folded left-hemispheric functions are nested and nurtured within the hydrogen-bonded impressions of the right hemispheric functions. And both are further nested within the enfolding nested fields within nested fields.
So, again, "What is the evidence of mind?
