You're right...one lonely bastard!

I personally am fascinated by memory.

What is it? The brain is made up of cells. Neurological impulses are electricity formed by sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium going in and out of cells.

But is memory neurological impulses that keep triggering? Or is it some sort of protein that our body makes and then translates when that memory is brought forth from the depths of the mind?

Think back to some event 10 years ago. You can remember it, even though you may not have thought about it for years. Of course, some of the details may be sketchy, and your brain fills in some of the gaps. But it is essentially all still there.

Weird.

Maybe it's not your brain that is holding those memories. Maybe it's your soul. Because if it's your brain, and when you die and those memories die with your brain, your soul wouldn't know who you were if that were the case...

Then where is it stored in one's soul? And in what form are memories stored in one's soul? Electrical? Chemical? Biochemical? Magic?

Excellent question... possibly it's retained by a force that we can neither see, measure or understand.

So, upon realizing that your attempt to regress the problem away has failed, you propose an indefensible hypothesis that basically says you have no fucking clue?

So, you assume
-the soul exists
-it somehow hold memories
-brain damage resulting in memory loss isn't really the cause (evidently, as you resuse to address the matter)
-there need not be any real connection to the physical universe
-all of this can never be known


hmm... I wonder what Occam would say about all of this

Dang, I was thinking the same thing. You beat me to it.
