* It all starts with whether or not you believe we are totally based from a physical world with no God/Creator. If not, the following does not apply.
* There are basic building blocks to everything in our physical world.
* These building blocks/pieces have properties.
* These properties are constant. They do not act differently given the exact same situations. They only have one action for every situation.
* We are composed of these building blocks.
* The properties of these building blocks hold true while making up the composition of our being (mind, body) as well as everything around us and in the universe(s).
* Now if everything has only one and only action in accordance with the universe's current state, then there is only one [next] state that all matter in the universe can progress to. So forth and so forth. Basically a mathematical road map/storyboard.
* Now, our brain is made up of this matter that is (and can *only*, due to physics) act one way to a given state. So, essentially our brains are not acting on their own, but being controlled/reacting (as governed by physics) to the physical world around it. There is no thinking. There are no cognitive actions/reactions.

Yeah I definitely follow. But the last * is just bad logic.

Our brains may be controlled by the physical world in which we live. And I follow the point that if we see something happen, our brain reacts by learning how it happens. The physics in our brain create a record of what we saw, and the physics in our brain create a synaptic response that tells us, hey, if A = B, and B = C, then A = C.

The one natural course of action, which was guided by physics and mathematical equations, led to the only possibility: our brain creating a synaptic response telling us that A = C.

Now over time, the only course of action physics allows will be that our brains create more and more synaptic responses, telling us that we've figured out more of the physics of the universe.

We are learning. It's just that learning IS the natural course of physics for us humans. And I ask you, what happens when we learn everything?
