In the context of the ongoing discussion this started with DMB's claim that
RMP's position on consciousness was the same as James because RMP points to
radical empiricism and pragmatism as the two schools of thought MoQ is an
extension of.
I objected to that claim, and this discussion ensued.
But at the same time researcher's all around the world are spending a huge
amount of time and effort on the nature of "consciousness" and RMP hardly
even mentions it. Why "no comment" on something so obviously important? And
could leaving something that significant out be a fatal error for the whole
system? You seem to care about the MoQ but care nothing about issues that
could invalidate it. I find that odd. Kind of like loving a paint for its
wonderful color, luster, and buttery feel. Except that each morning you
wake up to find its all laying on the floor beneath the canvas, but you
still keep using it day after day, because YOU LOVE THAT PAINT!
