our own mental activity is the only uneuqestionable fact of our experience. Instead of shared or communal, there is no external or objective truth.

all our talk about thoughts, beliefs, & desires (all the talk about the mind) is deeply mistaken and full of confusion. Common sense psychology will eventually collapse when neuroscience becomes more advacned. If they are true, no one has ever been coscious.

Many kinds of brains to support many kinds of thoughts. Causal relationsips that thoughts have to other thoughts; causal relationships that thoughts have to bodily behaviours (output); causal relationships that thoughts have to the environment (input). Any system that satisfies these conditions is a state of mind.

Not intrinsic to be human, "a person is a thinking, intelligent being, that has reason and reflection and can consider itself as itself, the same thinking in different times and places; which it does only byt that consciousness which is inseperable from thinking". Human body is not suffiecient to make it a person.

Rationality, conscious mental states, and intentionality - being the subject of a special stance or attitude of regard by other persons. Reciprocating the persons regarding stance, the capacity for verbal communication. "The very fact that a creature is recognized as a person, by other persons, makes it a person"

cognitive conditions: conscious of objects and events, and the ability to feel pain; reasoning and problem-solving ability; ability to carry out self-motivated activities; ability to communicate messages of an indefinite variety of types; the presence of self-concepts and self-awareness. "A creature need not satisfy all these conditions to be considred a person" (meeting the first two might be enough.

All these views are reflections of values of the designers. Naturlist view of persons as embodied interpersonally resposnive and dependent creatures. "People are born to earlier persons, and learn teh arts of person hood form other persons. These arts include self-consciouenss whihc follows mutual recocgnition, along with the sort of represntation that speech makes poossible...the first persons we recognize as such are those who greet us, call us, answer out calls. or personhood is responsive"

the self is an illusion - it exists but not in the way we think. There are multiple sets of disjointed experiences & parallel streams, a constant death & rebirth. When you become mindful of something you become aware of different 'selves'. Aware of many things outside our primary 'unified conscious field'.
