The “mind over matter” fallacy
“Mind over matter” is a motivational platitude that does well for those who like to brute-force their way to success.
However, powering through life without an organic motivation that is holistically aligned with our being usually does not work in the long run.
In fact, mind is, everywhere and always, a phenomenon of matter and vice versa. They can not be disentangled.
So when people say “mind over matter”, they usually just mean “I’m overthinking this”.
James (Künstler) Gleeson’s ““We inhabit the corrosive littoral of habit” (1940)
