“Minds and brains are the same thing,” said the
professor, “and I really don’t understand people who claim otherwise.”
“Absolutely identical?”
“Yes.” The professor nodded.
“But this belief got you into trouble?”
“It’s not a belief. It’s a fact that the mind is
the brain. True, I ended up in a tricky situation as a consequence. My brother
had to attend a very important meeting. His wife was away. He asked me to ‘mind
his children’ in his absence and I was happy to do so.”
“You minded them?”
“I brained them. But what's the difference?”
The other prisoner sighed.
