[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 18114, member: 174998"] I wouldn't say that I am obsessed with [I]the[/I] mechanism (ie with any specific mechanism) as much as with [I]a[/I] mechanism. IE I am indeed fervently convinced that there is some physical mechanism that gives rise to consciousness. The lightbulb thesis is simply one way of exploring the limits of a reductionist argument as a means to underdstanding what such a mechanism might be. By the way, there [I]is[/I] a logical flaw in the lightbulb thesis, and understanding the flaw leads to a deeper appreciation of consciousness. 2old [/QUOTE]
