It's true for most people which is why they are overweight and indulge their lustful impulses and become slaves to eating, masturbation and sex.

sex

It use to be like that, when we were little sea worms; the brain evolved as a handy tool (a bit like the computer initially was) but eventually, and very slyly, the conniving little organ took over and became dictator perpetuo
(about the time we were little fishes) and it made us do strange things, till it evolved to be more and more powerful. Humans now live under the complete tryanny of the cerebral Cæsar and it will only get worse and worse.

the "mind" is mere epiphenomena of the body

Retard. The mind and the body only exist to accrue capital.

the mind is literally star-stuff re-formed through evolution into a tool to perpetuate the body and its contents (dna), yes

The mind and body exist in parallel as separate attributes of a single infinite substance, but do not at all directly interact and only appear in unison due to causally deterministic necessity.

there's nothing profound about consciousness except its profound banality, its literally just electrical impulses. and you go back to /pol/, tourist. there is no god, there is no meaning. stop coping and enter the world of logic and reason....maybe open up a book for the first time in ur life

>The body is epiphenomena of the mind
No, the proof being that all mental activity is contingent on the body being in some state, while the body exists regardless of the state of the mind.
You're probably thinking of the reflective idea of the body which exists in the mind, rather than the body itself. But without the body you wouldn't be thinking anything at all.

Does your little nihilistic science larp make you sleep easy at night?

Without a 99% working brain nothing works and you die. Also the mind isn't just "thinking".

If someone bonks you on the head and you go unconscious your mind goes away so completely that when you regain consciousness you dont even know that time has passed. But while you're unconscious everyone else can see that your body remains very much present. So it's pretty obvious that the mind is an epiphenomenon of bodily organs.
