if we are entirely of flesh we obey entirely to the laws of nature so our freedom is just us being fooled because we dont see what influence us
Quote:Offhand, because it's useful. Just taking a look at some of your other posts in this regard, specifically the notion that it doesn't "add anything". Really? Consciousness doesn't add anything? So, the fact that the large majority of dominant forms of life on this planet are all (to varying degrees) conscious creatures doesn't seem to suggest that consciousness might add something?actually you cant prove that other people are conscious, you can only know that you are conscious
you are just assuming that they are conscious because they look like you
Quote:Fooled about what, and by whom or what.......?fooled by ourself about our freedom
