Reasoning is described as the art of justifying the consciousness of one’s thinking by applying logical arguments with intent to override other parties’ approach to a certain issue. Thus, reasoning defies the rationality of an intuitive perception by blending imagination with reality in defense of prevailing…

In two minds! We all take in information through our senses at an immeasurable rate of data, streaming into our minds like a super computer. All of the senses pick up a different perspective of the data and information and stores it, uses it or deletes it in a fraction of a second.

Our conscious mind is used in our daily…

From here I will outline the two key objections it faces namely the extra-cranial objection or china brain thought experiment and the qualia objection.
