> dhw: I am interested in your ideas on telepathy. As a dualist, you believe that the mind is separate from the body, and souls communicate by telepathy and without a brain. This means you believe in the possibility of thought existing independently of the brain. So that gets rid of the argument that organisms without a brain cannot think.-I know that species consciousness exists at the human level from Sheldrake's work, and with Blue Tits and other species and information can be passed by that mechanism. -> dhw: Organisms without a brain may have the equivalent of a brain. But I am just pointing out that what is good for Davids, doggies, corvids and cuttles may also be good for busy bacteria.-I haven't ever seen an object that is the equivalent of a brain. Wish away. Brains support the reception of consciousness. You think bacteria are conscious?
