"2. Reason (the faculty which identifies and integrates the material provided by man’s senses) is man’s only means of perceiving reality, his only source of knowledge, his only guide to action, and his basic means of survival.>

koan: the problem with the above is that she is saying all we have is our brain (faculty). But we use artificial things like computers and math to extend the brain. And when we do that we find out our brains are only telling us part of the story and the story/reality is much larger and different.

The question should be not if we remove the brain, but what do we see when we enhance the brain.

Science has sure disproven that one."

OH? If I remove your senses you can still perceive reality?? Or if I remove your brain you can still integrate the input of your senses? You're talking to me, Koan--not some dimwitted car salesman or wood chopper.
