Do you see me claiming, anywhere in there, that there is no sentient energy, that any of that rules it out, or offering you any resistance whatsoever, or balking against any of those givens we agreed to? No, you do not. I'm only extrapolating on the argument -you- offered....those aren't my bulleted points, are they? You're the one that told me the campfire energy isn't sentient. I'm running with it. You layed out the bullets and the brain fits...I'm agreeing with the argument, and then agreeing, beyond all logic and reason, that somehow the brain is -still- ruled out, just wondering by what.
If you'd like to hear -my- argument.............I can oblige.
Or, you can be pissy because your argument is inconsistent, and hearing me agree with all of these plainly contradictory things in a single post exposes that.
The only person in this discussion who's disagreed, or argued against you thusfar in this conversation, is you. I'd hardly call insisting that you remain faithful - to your own damned argument...arguing with you...or offering my own argument. More like forceful agreement.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
