But I wasn't judging - I'm in no position to judge because you three are far more intelligent than I will ever be, and that's just a fact. So whether the answer was yes or no, it would make no difference to me, because I just want to understand it. Just as I want to understand Rhythm's and AKD's positions.
I'm not offended, and I doubt that I'm smarter than anyone here. But from the idealist perspective, let me say this: the brain is something we experience: we look at it, dissect it, etc. And it seems connected to consciousness, for sure. But on a philosophical perspective, you have to be suspicious of circles like that, even if they feel so "right."
