the trouble is...
the view is kinda paradoxical.
to consider consciousness on the one hand and the body / brain on the other and to consider that it is possible to seperate one from the other (so that identity follows consciousness)...
to even frame the question requires dualism. in order for it to be logically possible requires that consciousness and body are logically distinct.
or maybe... they aren't distinct in this world and they couldn't be seperated because of laws...
what are the psychophysical laws connecting my conscious experience with this body?
how would we go about finding out about those?
we can discover correlations between conscious experiences and certain kinds of brain states but what is the law ensuring the correlation holds?
identity?
supervenience?
contingent fact?
causation?
is there a law?
to ask the question...
is to ask a question that has no answer.
w said that where a question could be asked
the question must be capable of being answered
if there was no possibility of answer
then the question is meaningless nonsense
(this is known as quietism)
shh
we can't think how to answer that
so you must stop asking meaningless questions.
but it seems to make sense.
the aim of philosophy is to show the fly the way out of the flybottle...
or something
