You don't recognize how psychological research can contribute to philosophical discussions of the mind? I have no choice but to question the credibility of your "A-level" pertaining to psychology if you are unaware of the impact made on the field by studying the effects of the subconscious. If "A-level" means you got an A (grade) in the class, I have a hard time believing you did so, and still manage to display such ignorance pertaining to the subconscious. Unless, this "A" you recieved was a very VERY long time ago. In which case, a refresher may be in order. I recieved an A in biology my freshman year in college, but for the life of me, I can't remember the entire periodic table. But your lack of understanding of the subconscious is comparable to me being unable to identify a mammal after taking biology. I think we're done here.
