    What gives, Ahnimus? You say the above as if they're actually responsible for what they say.

    Anyway, pumpkin pie is awesome.

    Hey, I'm all for it, we can all gather round in a circle holding hands singing "This land is our land" and then we will all pray to the lord of the cosmos and give our best carebear stare to rid the atmosphere of the evil lord smog.

    Why bother? That smog was meant to be there, right? I mean, we had no option otherwise.

    Doing things regularily with your opposite hand is good brain exercise.

    After a while, you may even understand the concept of determinism.

    I'll give that a try.

    I would appreciate it if you don't edit my posts when you quote them.

    Unfortunately, the outside stimulus demanding that I edit your posts when I quote them exceeds the outside stimulus demanding that I don't. Therefore, you'll need to make such a request at least 10^100 times in order to get me to stop.

    End transmission.

    Perhaps we should address the "outside stimulus" that causes you to make attempts at mocking my posts.

    Do you feel offended by my view and feel the need to act defensively?

    Do you have low self-esteem within this social environment and feel that demeaning me will increase your popularity?

    Do you lack the mental capacity to interpret most of my posts and therefor edit them in an attempt to degrade them to a humorous level you can understand?

    Ok. Address away.

    No. How could your view offend me?
    Do you have low self-esteem within this social environment and feel that demeaning me will increase your popularity?

    No to the former and yes on the latter. But mostly it just entertains me. And I'm not demeaning you, I'm simply using your own points.

    Not at all. This post, however, makes me wonder if you've asked yourself these very same questions.

    Ok, so let's assume that you have been paying attention and have understood what I've said. Let's recap.

    What scientist performed an experiment in 1985 on the delay of action potentials to consciousness?

    What do neuroscientists call the "executive seat" of the brain?

    What does 'wave-particle duality' mean?

    What is the definition of free-will?

    Is morallity innate and embedded into planck's constant?

    Where is the Neural Correlate for Visual consciousness?

    What term did the late Francis Crick and Kristof Koch coin to descibe the regions of the brain that are required for consciousness to arise?

    On session 4 of the Beyond Belief 2006 conference a scientist gives a theory of consciousness by coherence between which two brain regions? What quantum mechanic is given to reduce the 500 ms delay between action potential and consciousness?

    Are false memories a real problem?

    If you can answer all of those questions. Then I'll think you were actually paying attention a bit. Maybe even that you understand what I'm talking about.

    Sorry? When did my logic "fall flat"?

    If you could fix the atmosphere with your carebear stare. Wouldn't you want to dance a happy dance and eat pumpkin pie? I would. I'd frolick in the garden and have a group hug too.

    Are you going to stop the personal attacks which reveal your frustration and lack of fair debate?

    Libet?

    The frontal lobe.
    What does 'wave-particle duality' mean?

    The observed behavior of light acting like both a particle and a wave.
    What is the definition of free-will?

    The choice provided to mammals with self-consciousness to choose to apply their brains or not to.

    No and no.
    Where is the Neural Correlate for Visual consciousness?

    The cerebral cortex

    Phenomenal consciousness and access-consciousness?

    I didn't watch your video. I'll guess bifurcations?
    Are false memories a real problem?

    Depends on what you mean by "false".

    Dude, I haven't really been paying much attention to you. I know your arguments. Do you think you invented this research or the articles and videos you've posted here? They've been seen before, you know.

    That was a question. It's not my fault if you are offended when I try to call you out on your personal attacks.

    Libet?

    Correct
    The frontal lobe.

    Correct

    The observed behavior of light acting like both a particle and a wave.

    Semi-correct. It has more to do with the scale at which you attempt to measure it.

    The choice provided to mammals with self-consciousness to choose to apply their brains or not to.

    Nope, volition independent of physical or divine determinants.

    No and no.

    Correct
    The cerebral cortex

    Nope, the frontal lobe.
    Phenomenal consciousness and access-consciousness?

    Nope, the Neural Correlates of Consciousness
    I didn't watch your video. I'll guess bifurcations?

    Nope, front-back coherence and backwards-time quantum mechanics.
    Depends on what you mean by "false".

    I mean literally false; incorrect.

    So, you haven't paid attention to me, but think you know my arguments. you think you've seen this research before but answered wrong to half my questions. Google wasn't your friend on this one, was it?
