Are thoughts, emotions, pains physical events? Or are they limited to the mind? The problem with such questions is that they attract inquiries to a noumenon (a hypothetically abstract categorical extrapolation beyond what is given in experience). What we pass over in silence, our experiences, correlate to these apparently spontaneous utterances, momentarily fused to ideo-reality, yet no more solid than the air used to shape them. When you walk and then stop, what happened to the walking? When the word is done spoken, what is left? No-thing. There is no ontological requirement to say we dis-cover, re-member, or under-stand a thing. The mind is as empty as the brain ever was. Until evolution, a change in base pair frequencies, burped something up.
