If ‘minds are an epiphenomenon’ it seems to me that they are an epiphenomenon not of the ‘function of the brain’, but of light exceeding C and dumping the excess ‘infinite mass’ into an formal and relational array of ‘intelligence’ dimensions it ceaselessly invents via biology.

That is, (living) minds are ways of light exceeding C and ‘offloading that infinite mass’ in… living worlds, hearts, dreams, minds, and eyes. Dead ‘pseudo-minds’ (machines) are the explicit opposite of this, and eat living minds (and are demonstrably ripping a hole in the intelligence aspect of timespace, at least locally).

So yeah, you can exceed light speed. But not with physical objects. With something else. That with which we form questions about them. All day. Nothing but.

Oh, and by the way?

That stuff is explicitly bi-temporal. We were teaching the Greeks what they are still teaching us. And more, and more, and stranger still than this.
