Re: Minding the Pink Elephant
You noted,
quote:
Knowledge is what knowledge is to the individual. What is true for you is not necessarily true for me.
Does or might this imply then that "person'al'" identity can only be construed or defined rigorously to ""organism type individuals or rather humans, specifically (else aliens etc) or do you not also remit a possiblity that larger "individuals"(bound in space and time) might not posses (groups, demes...) what some philosopher's mean with the term 'personal identity' perhaps in a modified philosophy??

Re: Minding the Pink Elephant
I guess within the refines of your
quote:
the mental perception and the actual physical properties that cause the perception. Why, if the brain is simply a physical entity, would it not simply perceive the physical and nothing more?
and the current context that would have been what I meant. I had wanted to have had focus on the "perception" at least, as to not anything (nothing) less (more).
