One idea bullet does something the other idea bullet doesn't do. I've got all sorts of explanations for that....but they're insufficient...or so I've been told.
I guess it's just a mystery that neither of us will ever be able to work out?
I didn't say your world view is insufficient to explain why bullets make holes in bodies. I've repeatedly said it's sufficient if I want to have the experience of building a bridge that stands, and a bullet to someone's head is just another set of sights and sounds.
I said the material world view is insufficient to explain psychogony, the existence of mind rather than its lack of existence, and that it's insufficient in explaining and examining qualia. However, and Idealistic world view is sufficient to explain the universe, because ALL our understanding of the universe is anyway. . . wait for it. . . a collection of ideas.
