[MD] Consciousness a la Platt

[Heather Perella]

Platt:  
> To suggest someone "doesn't know what his own
> words mean" is the same as 
> saying he's stupid. 

SA:  What's wrong with stupid? or foolish?  I mean Ham eventually admitted after years of trying to argue a point that he didn't even understand the point he was using to argue with?  That's wise.  My point is maybe Ham does this often.  I don't know.  I was merely pointing out that Ham has a tendency to argue stuff he has no idea about, that's why he turns discussions into his thesis.  He can talk about something that he kinda knows about, but as I said he didn't know about something in his thesis.  Here's another one.  He doesn't know about "nothingness" and that whole process in his thesis.  I think your barking up the wrong tree Platt.  I'm talking about understanding concepts.  I can't help it if people talk about these concepts, namely you, Ham, me, Ron, dmb, Marsha, or craig, etc...  This is a forum to discuss concepts.  If we don't understand the concepts we are using and we argue these misunderstood concepts for years and look down on those
 people for years for not understanding you, well, in the end it would seem nobody understood Ham because he was using some concepts wrongly, I wonder how many more of those Ham misconceptions lurk.  Got it?
