Dave gets in the first shot, and tosses in a snide remark about Barry A's new moderation policy...

Barry
As a materialist most of the time I feel qualified to point out that what materialists generally think is an illusion is consciousness that is independent of a brain. I suspect few if any would agree that consciousness itself is an illusion. The previous poster, now banned, made a legitimate point. |
Barry stumbles but replies
| Quote | Barry A:
Your response can be boiled down to: A thoroughly materialist account of consciousness,which probably must take into account quantum mechanics, is too complicated for us to express now, and will probably always be too complicated for us to express. This is the typical “promissory materialism” that we have seen so often with a twist. Here the twist is that in the very act of making the promissory note, the maker of the note admits that he may never be able to pay it. Not very satisfying to say the least. |
Dave with another nut punch...

Barry,
I won’t agree that there is more than a brain required for self-consciousness. Occam’s Razor seems to be cutting in my favor as you’re the one who is adding something unnecessary (IMO) to what’s needed to explain self-awareness. What has satisfying got to do with anything? The truth is often disappointing.

This could get interesting. Where's the damn popcorn smiley? |
I'm rooting for Dave on this one.
Kick 'im in the na..
I mean, good luck Dave.
*settles in with popcorn and Spanish flash cards*

Oh, and look. Dave's comments weren't in white. That means he doesn't have the keys to UD.
But Crandaddy does. Poor Dave. |
Don't worry now that DaveTard and Barry have opened the floodgates the shit is flowing in so fast no one notices it's almost up to their noses.
Crandaddy has taken it as signal to pull the plug on his last pent up Über Fantasy.
.....as I think zombies show very nicely.
Whoppie.... at last <slobber> we are entering <hic> the land of the wanking ded
