Reply #143: What synergy?

[cyborg_jim]

From my perspective thought is not some 'thing' married with another 'thing' - brain activity - that results in the totality of the physical and metaphysical manifestations we see. Thought is an abstraction for the phenomenal results we see arising from brain activity.

For example - no brain activity -> no thought. Modify physical brain -> modify thought. In each case we see physical -> metaphysical. You want to tell us metaphysical <-> physical. I see no basis for this reasoning - hence my assertion that this is back-to-front thinking. One way or the other way is sufficient - both is overkill.
