Mszlazak,

Don't you ever worry that the mere fact that you need to use so much sophisticated hair-splitting to justify the concept that consciousness might be explicable in physical terms (even though that has not been achieved yet) is telling you something?

Even if you manage to persuade someone of your arguments, you don't have anything close to a proof that consciousness actually is physical unless/until someone can create it artificially. Why put all your intellectual eggs in one basket, and not even consider the dualist alternative?

David
