[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

As for physicalist ideas being tested, I don't see that happening. I see correlates between mind and brain being explored and verified, but those can be interepreted in several ways.

Perhaps, but the ideas are still being tested. What do you think thousands of neurophysiologists are doing?

Well, what defines "time", as far as I can tell, is consciousness. Consciousness can only exist "now". Bodies, however, can exist whenever they like to, because time is only a meningful concept if there is a consciousness to "fixate" it at a certain place. Bodies without consciousness are "fleeting" when it comes to time, they don't exist at a certain time. And here is the crux of the problem. If consciousness equals the brain, it doesn't make sense that it should exist "now", whereas its physical counterpart can exist at any point in time.

Sorry, me no get.
