About Me

My PhotoI'm Carlos Killpack I like music, I guess you could even say its my addiction. That being said it shouldn't be much surprise to hear that I host a radio show called Indie Invasion. (Which is, by the way, the greatest radio show on earth) I play the drums and the guitar. I play football and I am Mormon, meaning that I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The purpose of writing this blog is to ponder the mysteries of the Universe and share my views of them, (cool right) therefore the topics discussed here can vary widely. Each post is filed under one or more of the categories at the top right. Please enjoy.

The mind exists, scientifically speaking, because of the brain. The brain's function causes your mind to exist. In other words, your brain and your mind are the same thing. Minds are part of nature because they are a part of every living thing in nature. In any case the mind had no effect on nature unless the body it resides in decides to act. Furthermore, the mind is not an object, it is a process that allows living things to process information and make decisions.
