Consciousness and Embodiment

Do you need a body to have a mind?

Many philosophers and cognitive scientists argue that our consciousness is deeply intertwined with our physical bodies and our interactions with the physical world. They suggest that our sensory experiences, motor skills, and physical interactions shape our perceptions, thoughts, and feelings.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think embodiment is essential for consciousness, or is it possible for consciousness to exist independently of a physical body?

Clips from the movie "Ghost in the Shell" were used for the background.
