Bricks in different walls experience different loads applied to them.

Quote:I'm not saying it's a mystery, though I think it is. What I'm saying is that if you want to explain the brain as a mechanism of mind, you have to explain where the sense of unity of experience comes from. What's at the core of it all?a description of the physical system by which it's functions are arrived at.
Quote:My view is not a hypothesis. It is a response to the existence of "things" which cannot be expressed unambiguously in 3D space, which I feel invalidate the semantics of a physical monism.You disagree with the language.....iow?
Quote:Again, you are expressing yourself with your world view presupposed. The fact is that I DO see things.I don't doubt this at all.
Quote: I'm currently looking around my room and yup, I can verify that I see stuff.-and both of us can verify the mechanical systems function if we pleased. We pay alot of attention to eyes.......we aren't in a position of ignorance here.
You disagree with the language I use to describe it, but do you disagree with the explanation? Do you, for example, with the notion that information is the fundamental stuff - also conceptualize a computational process which creates this reality -as we experience it- and even the mechanism capable of experiencing it......even if it isn't, outside(if there is an outside)....exactly -as is-, yes?
Quote:Absolutely. The subjective experience of sight is best thought of as something other than mechanical.Wonderful, can you elaborate?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
