Still, I cannot help but find it weird when you say "the mind appears to input or project reality over the contents of datastructures within the brain". Everything the brain does is also part of mind. Like (and because of) Chalmers, I believe the mind has at least two aspects: the psychological (which is computational, and so materialistic), and the fenomenalogical (which is innefable and necessarily metaphysical). Unlike Chalmers, I do believe the latter to be related to the buddhistic notion of the "Buddha Nature". And so, unlike you, I do not believe that the buddhistic view contradicts the computational view of the mind: it only adds something very important to it, a place where qualia may exist.rsennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123070680690528005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281154371181296475.post-84213008871932638982011-07-27T09:24:44.066-07:002011-07-27T09:24:44.066-07:00This is great stuff!
