Hi tintner michael and Albert Cororna, I am accused of wasting peoples' time by constantly posting here and elsewhere on the subject of Leibniz.
I do that because people are already wasting their time by posting totally impossible views on what mind is or what consciousness is, supposedly the chief topics on these sites. Why ? The current model of the mind or brain has no subject, only a description of a subject such as "subject". which is not subjective but objective because it can be located in spacetime and described in words. You need a living, nonphysical, subjective subject. In fact life also needs a living subject. The same as is reading this paragraph. Why ? Consciousness is bipolar, consisting of a nonphysical-subject/physical-object pair, a true living subject looking at a spactime physical object. Only Kant and Leibniz take this criticism seriously, and of them, only Leibniz does it specifically. Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (ret.)
