Seeing red

[bennyboy]

Again, you and I may never find the same things convincing, but we can at least agree to play by the same rules, you are still defending an irrational claim....which is, as you put it, central to your view.

You'll have to define what you mean by rational, because I feel the same way about you.  You are using an interface with reality which is absolutely, 100% experiential, and from your experiences, you have arrived at the conclusion that most of reality is not experiential.  This is circular logic, and you are doing EXACTLY what you claim I'm doing: you are using an idealistic basis for establishing a physical "reality."

That is irrational.
