Your tone was kind, considering you apparently believe that I have no education in these matters -- not that one really needs a formal education to philosophize or anything, of course. Anyway, that was nice of you, if nothing else, varakann :)I'm not in any way trying to propose some sort of duality of mind/body. That's precisely what I'm saying is incorrect. Honestly I really don't care what you call the stuff that composes us and the objects around us. Call them vibrating strings. Call them the accumulation of billions and trillions of probability spaces intersecting and collapsing to a single outcome when observed. Call it and think of it as whatever you please -- either way, it has existence and it composes ours (presumably you don't take issue with that). Whatever it is you think you and your computer screen are made up of, that's what I mean by matter.
