How do I explain how hallucinogens cause hallucinations or the fact people are not normally hallucinating? (I'm not following, I'm afraid). My position is: the mind is universal explainer - not that all minds know how to do everything minds in principle are capable of doing.
i'm not sure how we disagree, then. If this is your position, I feel like your first reply was extremely misleading.

My fault for not expressing things more clearly. Given we agree minds are universal, it cannot be the case that there are "some things some people can do, in principle others cannot" nor that some skills can't be acquired unless we "alter the brain" as you said. :)

I don't *necessarily* agree that "minds are universal" — that's not my starting point nor a position I'm trying to defend, although I'm unswayed by arguments against it. I do think that some computations require inputs, memory or time that is not available to a human brain today.
