No I was talking to Ledo. That's why the "lol". Hehe. And why it was straight after his post and without a quote.
But, to expand on what you said: I'm not claiming a positive. I'm saying "Why make an exception?" I'm not claiming a positive exception to the rest of the universe. And it is merely by process of elimination, that if I'm not claiming and believing in the exception - then I am believing in the only possible alternative!
If I don't believe I should make an exception for thought to believe that it is non-physical then by process of elimination that means I believe it is physical! Because...I can't believe neither they are mutually exclusive and the only two options. Because I believe thought exists and they're either physical or not.
I'm not claiming an exception. So I'm not the one making the new claim. I have to believe thoughts are either physical or they're not, and I see no reason to make them an exception and believe they are non-physical unlike everything else in the known universe - so that's why I believe the only positive alternative, that they're physical, by the process of elimination!
That is all.
