  1. Invalid Opinion Our minds do not exist in reality, our brains do. Minds are a psychoLOGICAL construct manifesting the organization of physical neurons. It is similar to the difference between the physical structure of a computer network and the logical structure determined by translated information. Sound, color, taste, smell, texture do not exist in reality. They are all psychological representations of neuronal activation patterns. Saying that color exists in reality is the same thing as saying a video game avatar exists in reality. The brain is merely the interface between tangible reality and psychological reality. A physical process stimulates a sensory nerve. That nerve sends an electrical impulse through the Peripheral Nervous System to the Central Nervous System. The patterns of neuronal activations within the brain are translated into psychological representation in a heuristic process to reconcile the massive amounts of information and the ability to make conscious decisions. Can you imagine processing the information from every cone shaped photo-receptor cells from each eye to determine the frequency of electromagnetic radiation that activates each cell? You would have to process how many of each of three types of cell to determine the relative intensity of those three colors. So, not only do colors not exist, we only perceive three frequencies of light; not the millions that you THINK you do. To wrap this up, synesthesia is direct evidence that psychological perception of physical sensory information is merely translation of signals in reality to consciously processable representations in the mind. If color exists as a physical reality, then seeing sounds should be impossible. However, if psychological translation of information is a virtual process, then the auditory information meant for your temporal lobe can be translated by the occipital lobe resulting in some people being able to see sounds. Can you imagine the patterns of compression waves in the air vibrating the different lengths of cilia in your ear sending patterns of electrical impulses to the brain to create a visual representation of what you hear? Neurobiology aside, the main problem in this thread really comes down to a difference political ideology. This is a problem that confederacy was supposed to address, but federalism has intensified. The problem with psychological diversity in the perception of reality and the physical existence of that abstract existence of the mind is that “entitlement,” “benefit,” and “freedom” are constantly conflated. Freedom within individual minds give rise to conflict within shared realities. The ability to move to an environment more conducive to your perception of reality or create such environments with like minded individuals was the point of a Democratic Republic and a confederate style nation. The more decisions that are made at the federal level, the fewer decisions that are made locally, leaving even less for the individual. As one party gains power, legislation the other party disapproves of is realized. When the pendulum swings the other way, more legislation is created that the first party disapproves of. Just as in The Pit and the Pendulum, the shift in power is inevitable just as the weight of the pendulum pulls it ever closer to completely severing the body in twain. Regardless of the party in power, the Federal government takes more decisions away from the whole nation. It doesn’t have to be that way. If this video teaches you anything, it should teach you that being a human is what we have in common, but it is our ideological differences that allow various functions to be fulfilled. What the video doesn’t explain is that every person is responsible for how they interpret reality within their own mind, and legislating how people should interpret reality is a very dangerous path that should be tread lightly.
