I told you way back I wasn't interested in trolling myself. I'm trying to help you get past your mental logjam, not review the state of nueroscience today.
You've been making many, many more assertions than that, and if you don;t realize that, then the problem is properly fucking basic, lol. In any case, the materialists position, on the only thing you actually goive a shit to dispute that position in regards to, is that brain accounts for mind. Do you want to be the guy who stands there loudly, and repeatedly, demanding to be shown science to support this position, and implying that it does not exist - while simultaneously objecting to it in the specific as though it did, as though you were aware of that position and that science? Do you understand why only one half of your objections here could possibly -be- true?
I don;t -care- whether or not you accept the science. I;m not interested in proving to you that science works and can be trusted. I;m not, and I wont. I just want to get you to stop saying self defeating things. I want to help you cease to object in illogical ways.
I'm not even trying to prove to you that materialism is true. Only to help you understand that it isn't unneccessary to what -you- refer to as fact, even as you object to it by those facts you possess....and that it is well founded on something, regardless of whether or not you think that something works or can be trusted.
Now Jorg, Jorg did a wonderful writeup. Really took the time. Didn't take though, did it? So here you are, demanding that someone else take the time. Because it's going to work this time? Gloating that you've managed to exhaust peoples patience with your requests after you;d done everything in your power to exhaust their patience. UMADBRO? Well congratulations, this must be some sort of contest in hell, and you're clearly winning.
