Do some people still think our minds are confined to the insides of our heads?

I'm actually surprised because usually your questions are inane, but "The extended mind" is actually a pretty interesting concept. I guess it can boil down to semantics, though.
A good example I've heard of this is a husband and wife on a road trip where the husband has no memory. He writes down the directions in a notebook and the wife just keeps the information in her memory. In this case, the notebook is acting as an extension of his mind by acting as his "memory", so you could say that his mind is not confined to what's in his skull, but to me that's kind of playing mental gymnastics a bit, but an interesting thought nonetheless. Of course this is not any kind of evidence that an invisible wizard exists or anything. |
