Maybe that's just your way of distracting everyone from the identity theory's complete failure to explain why indistinguishable neural processes correlate with vastly different felt experiences or no experience at all. Oh, wait I forgot. You have faith that someday someone will be able to confirm your bias, since you would never dream of considering possible solutions that would threaten your intellectual commitment to atheism.
Few points -
1. Is your moral outrage supposed to mask the fact that you have no argument to make? If then, it has failed miserably.
2. If you don't want people commenting on your medical situation - don't bring it up.
3. When did we start talking about the identity theory? Also, when did I indicate that I subscribed to it? You should certainly know from the prior discussions we've had that that is certainly not the theory I personally subscribe to.
4. Try reading through again from post #15 onwards. None of the arguments made are unique to the identity theory of mind.
5. Try to remember that we have discussed the problem of consciousness before. It wasn't bias that made be reject your position since I was able to provide arguments against it before. The possible solutions you are dreaming of are highly unlikely to threaten my intellectual commitment to atheism.
