Consciousness Trilemma
RE: Consciousness Trilemma

You know what I think?  I think you ran out of objections to em..now you're just objecting to existence.

No, if you look at my posts, you can pretty clearly see that I'm trying to get a refined position-- what is true, what is considered illusion, and on what basis?  Are there non-arbitrary criteria?

Eliminativism is about letting go ideas that are not represented in reality.  I consider many aspects of the material world view to be ideas which aren't represented in reality.

Let me ask you a very simple question.  You say what eliminativists say mind isn't.  What is  it, in their view, and how do they know it is this?
