If aging is a physical process, and the brain is physical, and the mind is electrical. Then the mind doesn't age, only the brain. amirite?

That's why most old people are sad

Electricity is physical? It's made of electrons… 🤦🏻

well yes, but actually no

I supposed technically it would be correct to say the brain is matter, and the mind is energy. That seemed a bit strange however.

You are right though, being in the physical world, it is a physical phenomenon, and is physical.

I just don't think most people think of electricity and energy as physical despite e=mc²

I was making a linguistic choice

You could just say "non-physical" or "mental". These are the terms I hear philosophers of mind use, anyway.

My name is Joe Biden and I forgot this message.

since when is the mind electrical?

In the end we become conductors
