The constant appeal of those that refuse to address concrete criticism of the philosophy which they feel proves them correct "Neither of us can prove this or that, we're probably both wrong".
I'm not trying to excersize any demons. Did I mis-interpet your position as that of eliminative materialism? Does EM not hold that these concepts that we have tried to develop, such as self, are relics of a poorly explored mechanism, better reduced to the biological? Is the product of that reduction not the brain? Is this conclusion not well evidenced? Have I misrepresented those conclusions that have arisen out of evidence? I am incredibly unsatisfied with this agree to disagree business. Especially after you've slung so much mud my way, and then played the victim as though my hand were the only one with a sword in it.
