We would have to factor in the possibility that a bias toward coincidence (in subjects, scientists, or even the public) could alter the results. To seriously consider consciousness the fundamental phenomenon, we must expect that matters which could potentially define consciousness itself one way or another would be suppressed by occult means. If the universe is made of bias, we cannot expect it to play by the rules that it uses to keep us guessing. > Cheers > > -- > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) > Principal, High Performance Coders > Visiting Professor of Mathematics [email protected]<javascript:> > University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au > > Latest project: The Amoeba's Secret > (http://www.hpcoders.com.au/AmoebasSecret.html) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
