This could have been an interesting discussion but then the first person to turn up was Mr I Don't Know How To Actually Address The Other Person's Points and then Jor, who I actually respect, just jumps in and barely asserts a question is being begged that isn't being begged, and then buggers off. Ick.
Here was me imagining this thread could have been really interesting. I worked hard on the OP but not one of my points has even been addressed yet! And much of it has been outright ignored. I remember why I don't tend to bother having serious discussions on AF anymore... especially with Khemical hanging around ruining threads with sophistry. I have to spend all my time telling him to address my actual argument. It's unnecessarily frustrating. It would be fine if this wasn't the 10,000th time this has happened and if he didn't do this all the bloody time. It's beyond a massive coincidence at this point... he 'wins' debates with sophistry ('wins' is in scare quotes because you can't actually win an argument if you don't address your opponent, all you can do is make other people believe you've won it, which is what he does).
What thread is that? I've just been thinking about consciousness a lot lately.
