I would say it is exactly the contrary: our mind is a physical manifestation of our brain. The mind stays to the brain, as combustion power stays to a car engine. Stop the engine, and there will be no spiritual combustion abandoning the car and keep burning.
Yet the car and the engine don't change one another, they simply act togather.
Its not a theory, just an idea.
does not explain why peoples' minds change so drastically when you have things like: neural degeneracy, hormones storms, too much alcohol, drugs, too little blood, cancers, etc.
This is what i meant when I wrote a "bug".
A "bug" means, there is a fault function in the brain that causes unwanted or uncontrolled result.
When you use drugs for example, it affects the way your brain experience reality.
Same goes for alcohol.
When the issue is with a disease or a physical injury, the issue is the same. it depends what part of your brain is hurt. major areas of your brain can be removed and you will still have your personality kept.
And why it suddenly recovers all powers when the shut-down is complete.
As the body has a "self repair" mechanism.
When it comes to the brain, at times, the mind alters or "forgets" parts of reality in order to prevent an overwhelming impact.
While my view is much simpler: all those effects are expected when engines get broken, or you put bad gas in it.
This is not how our body-brain-mind relations work.
Yours is not parsimonious because, again, makes the brain totally redundant.
How so?
The effect is two way. The brain affects your mind and your mind affects your brain.
Why do we need that, if we are able to be conscious, understand and remember things doctor said when it was totally turned off?
As we have no way to "activate" our body without it.
Your mind is affected by the physical state of your brain as the brain is affected by the state of your mind.
And where do we store the information?
I wish I knew
Did those guys store the information they witnessed somewhere in the spiritual cloud, or in their turned off brain?
Once again, great question that requires far more advanced technology and studies.
But information is not limited to brains.
We have information in every cell of our body.
We have information in the structure of our galaxy and universe.
Each particle is information.
And what about that mind floating around the hospital, where did it get the information it needs to understand the doctors (e.g. the language)?
Good question.
It seems this issue is of interest to you as it is to me
I promise I will inform you of any updates in the future in that topic
From the turned off brain? If not, do we also store our memories in the spiritual cloud, to be later retrieved when we shut down?
Imagine a radio.
Someone who knows nothing about light, can easily ask the same question of "Where does this sound comes from?"
He might think the only source of sound in the radio itself, yet we know it comes from a whole different place.
As you see, one explanation is much simpler than the other, and should therefore be preferred.
Not really.
You are misinterpreting the phrase the "simple answer is probably the correct one".
God is a very simple explanation to most scientific issues, yet we know better
The fact that is not preferred by so many people is, in my opinion, just a sign that people are literally desperate to find an alternative to their unavoidable eternal oblivion, and are ready to believe everything, no matter how absurd it is (and that include gods) that might avoid that fate.
You took it to a far more complex discussion.
I don't know if there is anything after death. I guess at some point, we will all know the answer to that
Hope springs eternal.
