Joscha Bach argues that changing a person's energetic conditions, such as raising body temperature, affects the mind because sufficiently altered conditions can prevent it from maintaining its function.

“And when we change this, for instance, by increasing your body temperature, at some point, your mind is going to break down because you're going to be delirious, right? And so if you bring this back to this argument saying, "Okay, if we change the energetic conditions around you by increasing your body temperature," of course, it's going to influence your mind to some degree because at some point it's no longer able to maintain its function.”
