Its baffling to me that people think the brain is somehow "outside" of the universe and somehow "magic" and not tied down by physics just like any other matter is. I don't understand how people come to this conclusion, except in the case of belief in magic or religion (which is belief in magic more or less).
Yeah, that's ultimately this whole conversation and people just don't have the courage to acknowledge their own beliefs.
The brain is a (very complex, incredible) input → output machine. That's it! It's incredible!
I don't understand why people are so afraid of this that they will believe otherwise with literally zero evidence whatsoever.
