consciousness?

[Neo-Scholastic]

The thrust of your critique misses its mark since no one here has argued that "physical events ARE felt experiences".

Fair enough. Then you must be arguing that felt experiences are physical events. Or have I missed something?

Are you now going to argue that essentially, computer software exists independently from the hardware?

So by analogy, computer hardware causes software?

Why don't you try taking charge of your own life for once?

I believe I freely chose and will be held accountable for my choices. In contrast, a deterministic physical event has no control or culpability for its result. Any one that asserts that life is a purely physical event is basically saying they have no control over their life.
