Hi Gary,
Evolution is the migration of stable static patterns of value towards dynamic
quality?
I agree mind is a concept which appears to be in 'mind' itself, so we may
usefully suggest that mind is something of an invention?
The concept is a stable static pattern of intellectual quality and as such is
not evolving?
The term 'mind' points to a process that IS evolving and a static description
of it is dead.
I suppose i am trying to say that a description or definition of mind is
inadequate.
That the concept mind arose from culture appears certain, but let us not
analyse mind as a real entity when it is more fictitious than otherwise?
Squonk.
