And what a bizarre thing a human must be, a mind born entirely of evolution, a mind that was not created by another mind.
Minds were involved on the causal pathway leading to human minds. Trivially, if you scoop out a mother’s brain at birth or a father’s brain at birth and they stop being mothers and fathers—since they fail to reproduce. Minds are evidently causally involved in the process of creating minds—as this simple experiment illustrates—so this idea seems like bad poetry to me—or is at least very misleading.
The idea that humans were created by some kind of mindless process is totally wrong.
