Do you believe we are robots? It is a yes or no question. If the answer is yes, Then say something that supports it otherwise it's it's just bs. -sorry it's true. It's bs.

Biological functions are carried out by physical materials which must obey the laws of physics. Draw your own conclusions, I'm not thinking for you.

I wouldn't want you to think for me.
You obviously have too much on your plate. Your statements are full of errors.
Your own conclusions are drawn so no sense in trying. Have a nice day.



This is automation.

Tea anyone?

Flint, I am confused. I am just a country bumpkin but I am sure you mean the laws of human physiology and not the law of physics.




When something confuses me I am on it like a squirrel with a nut. ( no pun intended)
So I did a little research this am to give you the specifics you asked for.

I am looking for something that proves physics has anything to do with what you are talking about.

I think not but I try. I look up the law of physics. You know atoms,time and gravity.

http://srikant.org/core/phy11sep.html



I find a paper from a University that trys to deal with what I think you might be going for. It is the question of human physiology and consciousness.(or awareness) I don't agree with it but it is discussed from a physiology standpoint and not a physics stand point. I could'nt find anyone talking about human physics sorry

( I lost that link but if you google human physics together you might find it.)


http://scbe.stanford.edu/conference/hallett.pdf



Here is another article with the word physics in it. Even thought the classroom is called,'The Physics Classroom' the person talks about the physiology of hearing and the perceptopn of it which falls under human psychology. The only physics involved is the mechanics of how sound travels.

As far as my research shows there IS a fuzzy middle ground. In your own words you say there isn't but there is. Your above post is your own conclusion but they are in error.


How about these sciences for fuzzy ground?


Neuroscience - Neuropsychology
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience
Neuroscience is a field of study that deals with the structure, function, development, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology of the nervous system, consisting of the myriad nerve pathways running throughout the body. The study of behavior and learning is also a division of neuroscience.


Psychology - Cognitive Psychology
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_psychology



Philosophy - Philosophy of Mind



They work within that area you say dosn't exist . I must question whether you really believe what you say.


sorry you asked
