Yeah, I'm sure you're well acquainted with the tradition Lanza apes in his "theory".
'Conscientiousness' would have involved your having done such leg work before swallowing this tripe. Intellectual dishonesty anyone?
Then again, conscientiousness might also have led you to the realization that you're not trying to write 'conscientiousness' but 'consciousness'.
Who are you trying to fool?
How easy is it to simply one up a poster by googling just a little bit deeper than what is posted?
That's what you did, but that is not what I did.
I found a scientifically based theory that somewhat incorporates a religious concept. Then call people out for being intellectually dishonest when ever they only want to speak from a position of authority, of the religious component negatively, and not make themselves aware of the scientific aspects.
How is that different than what you did? I provided A and B aspects to an argument, and call out those who only speak to A for being intellectually dishonest if they refuse to acknowledge or even educate themselves on the "b" side of the argument before they speak.
You are calling me for not knowing the entomology of A and B Intellectually dishonest.
Nice try sport, but no. Maybe if you didnt get so worked up over how a word was spell-t you could take a little more time framing out how they are used, then someone like me couldn't take you to task for the intellectual dishonesty built into your fallacy of faulty comparison arguement.

Yeah, nice try yourself. Philosophy was one of my double majors back in the day. I have read each of the authors I mentioned. In fact, it didn't require a google search to see where this was going. I hadn't heard of 'Biocentrism' prior to reading your link, but I hadn't got more than a couple of paragraphs into it before I flashed on Bergson and the obvious similarities.
Oh, and entomology?
