Default Body-Mind Problem:

(sorry for my wrong english)

how it can be that 2 diferent kind of "things" r connected to each other? the physical world, and the mental world?
the problem is that if they both "realy exist" than it cant be that they interact one with other because they r different kind of things (thats the meaning of diferent kind, that they dont have something in common that it must for the interaction posibility).


thats why i think that we can choose only in one option from 2:
1) the physical world is the real existence, and the mind is illusion (but than the problem arise about us..and thats kind of argument is almost unthinkable)
2) the mental world is the real exitence and the phsyical is only illusion, a dream. (but then we cant realy get a proper explanation of science phenomenon)

(a third option that nothing exist is also possible but unthinkable)
my opinion is tilt to #1 choice. we r illusion, we wasnt, we will not, therefor WE R NOT EXIST! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

You may not be able to help your English but I think you do know enough to use the word "are" rather than the childish "r". I also think you know enough to capitalize the first letter at the beginning of a sentence. not doing so is as bad as not using periods it makes it hard to read

I thought I was being kind and truthful in pointing those things out to him. He's made 80 posts and evidently no one else has cared enough to tell him. When people post here using chat room protocol somebody should tell them this is the wrong place for it.

ok, maybe my tone was unfriendly. For that I apologize.

Someone actually said that just one little post of your was the most arrogant AND ignorant post he EVER read. In other words even though it would be almost certain that it would take two different posts, probably from two different authors, to get both adjectives applied to them, (from a reknowned philosopher no less) you did it in one fell swoop. Yet instead of basking in that glory you APOLOGIZE. What am I going to do with you?

Notice I did Not apologize for being Arrogant and Ignorant. Only for being unfriendly.

WTF? First of all, I'm a big fan of clear, concise communication, especially when attemptin to tackle subjects as intense as the OP's question. Second of all, the OP apologized for using poor English in the first place, which seems to give an open invitation for people to help him out.

I'm with David on this one. I can't believe PTB apologized for anything.
