And just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it isn’t founded on reasonable logic, and just because you haven’t heard something doesn’t mean it isn’t a serious philosophical debate.

You're absolutely right. The fact that it's BS is what makes it BS.

If you can’t imagine an alternative explanation then you’re not mentally equipped to criticize the explanations offered. So either accept my explanations, provide your own, or kindly put your empty opinions back where they came from.

Yeah. I expect as much. You've never provided any support for your shitty argument. It's just my "lack of intellect" that stops me from understanding your genius right?

It's your repeated refusal to suggest an alternative. I am willing to consider and respectfully discuss an alternative. You don't have one.

Your argument is too stupid for me to put effort into a reply. You're just getting shit posts. Sorry.

Edit: It's like somebody saying "the Earth is flat". yes I could spend hours devising a competent and clear argument against it. But really - it wouldn't matter. They'll just say something stupid with little thought that would require another several hours for me to refute. It's just not worth it.

The most transparent cop out I've ever seen.

Yep - I'm not gonna bang my head against a wall.

No, you can't. You literally can't think of a third explanation. I know, I tried. Everything you can think of reduces to one of the two.

You don't have to admit it, just actually take the time in private to think about consciousness and what it could possibly be, actually give it a shot. I'm certain you can't think of a third alternative, there isn't one.

But if you can think of an alternative, I'd love to hear it. I've devoted a great deal of study to the topic, and I'd love a new legitimate perspective.
