You're simply not making any sense, dude.
The point is, lacking the portion of the brain that provides higher cognitive functions, a person is not a person.
How is asking how are our thoughts about something not making sense? That has nothing to do with being a person nor did I say it did?

Well, there's no need to be rude! I'm not playing a game, I'm just trying to clarify what you're saying. Of course your thoughts are about things. I'm sure you experienced it while you were constructing your retort. And cognition is a huge part of thought, which lies it the parts of the brain that the child would be born without. I really not sure what you're saying. You're not making much sense.

For the last fucking time, how are thoughts about something considering thoughts are electrical impulses traveling along neural circuits. Are you saying electricity has sentience? Why are you afraid or unwilling to answer?

Your point isn't making any sense at all, dude. It's like you're saying that graphics aren't pictures on the screen because they're electrical impulses in my computer.
What the fuck are you even arguing about? Literally not a one of us present have any idea what it is you're trying to get at.

Then you didn't read my exchange with Annik from my first reply to her. Either do so or simply keep your foolishness to yourself. If you had read the exchange you would not have made any stupid remark about "person" as the question has nothing whatsoever to do with that.

On the contrary, I have read this entire exchange, and you still haven't made a single bit of sense. The only one being foolish here is you.

Bullshit. You read nothing or how can you be so stupid to say my asking a question means I have a point? Your stupidity and lying just got you ignored.

Well, strictly speaking, the brain's impulses are a combination of electrical and chemical. These impulses stimulate certain parts of our brains. To be honest, I'm not sure if even the top neuroscience experts know exactly how this process works.
Here is an article I found, but I have no idea if it's peer reviewed. Furthermore, I have no clue what you're on about. Instead of explaining yourself, you've just repeated the same thing with added insults.
