Do you find ridiculous that life is like a cart pulled by 3 horses?
Well, that's no problem with me.
As far as you are happy with 2 horses (body& mind) and that physical science can deliver the goods go for it.
If you than find that peace of mind is missing then you can always rethink.
Nothing is really lost.
The only trouble is that you may realize that you have been wasting so many lives chasing a dream.
I think he just found it ridiculous that you would think analogies to horses, carts and chickens was a decisive demonstration that the situation in question was simple. Your unsupported claim was as simple as it was strange. But you've persuaded no one that consciousness, mind/body or personal identity are so simple as you say.
It may seem simple to you just because that is the best you can do. My new theory is that the reason you don't address the particulars of anyone's points is that you are not capable of doing so. I wonder if you realize how pompous and foolish this makes you seem.
