I don't mind going in circles until you say something substantive.

What's the point of this, again? Your comments are still on the board to be quoted.
It could go another way. You could be interested and happy to have learned something about constructing a valid argument, and use that new info to field a better objection to non human consciousness.

Read through your own comments again lol. Surely you've noticed by now how pointless they are; even when asked you struggle to clearly state the problem. Its ok to not know how the mind and brain works, no one expects you to, so why go through so much trouble defending your false claims?
And I was happy to learn what stolen concepts were from Objectivist; why are you trying to take someone else's credit?

Are you unclear on the issue of a stolen concept, again? The problem™ has been clearly stated by three posters. It's only a problem in the sense that it's an invalid form of objection. The objections, themselves, may still be true and..presumably, if so, could be stated some valid way.
Personally, I think that it's impossible to have a discussion about something like consciousness when a shared body of facts can't be agreed on.

You're free to quote them or restate the problem yourself; but you still haven't done it lol.

-and I shouldn't have to - because the posts exist..the conversation occurred. Quoting those posts doesn't really change your behavior or response, as can be seen just a few posts ago. Still, just to make sure we're clear on something..I can restate the previously stated problem.
Stolen Concept; requiring the truth of the something that you are simultaneously trying to disprove.

The posts may exist; but I can't read your mind to know which they are, obviously. (Although I must admit, you thinking I can read your mind is consistent with thinking you can read the minds of animals).

God is only logical to those who forego with reason to accept his existence. Therefore, god is quite the contradiction to logic.

Are we clear on what a stolen concept is and why it's a problem, or not?
