Why materialists are predominantly materialists

As I said before..it might be that the brain works differently.  But the statement above can't be used as a general rule to infer as much or demand that they be described as such, because it's simply false.


Eh?  League of Legends is not my computer.  p0rn is not my monitor.  Redness is not an apple.  Your way of thinking is so strange to me that I think there's little point trying to argue.  Let's say the process is this: the brain does some stuff, and I experience that stuff as an imagined unicorn.  The unicorn isn't the brain function-- it's a four-legged horse-thingie with one horn.  That you cannot see that the neurological representation of the unicorn and the unicorn as I qualitatively experience it are different is truly mystifying to me.  I sincerely don't know where to go from here-- but I see that there are a lot of new shows on now, so maybe it's time to take a break from this.
