You may not like the tone, but I answered the question you asked, as you asked it...and was criticized -by you- for answering that question in the manner that you imposed. I think if I can drive through that...you can probably drive through my bringing it to your attention. If you're going to make a distinction between the two, my responses to you will distinguish between the two. Nothing about the physicalist position prevents me from making such conversational distinctions , and conversational distinctions do not render the physicalist position contradictory or absurd. We both seek to incorporate our experience of qualia and it's added utility and there's nothing in either of our diverging POV's preventing us from doing so. If you say "but, under the physicalist position isn't it nonsense to talk about additional utility, as mind is brain?".....in a great many ways, yes, it is...but that isn't the question you asked, eh?

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 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!
