What
is odd about this whole interchange is that I can't quite find the
point of view (all experience is 3rd person) Nick is promoting, but it
feels that it could very well be my own habit of experience and

What
if everything Nick was saying was true (about the absense of true 1st
person) , but only for Nick, and other's like him for whom behaviorist
ideas make sense? What if, for Nick, there really is no there, there
(or a "me" here), but the idea doesn't make sense to others, because
there is a "me" there... (I'm sure this idea has been stated before,
and it's distracting nonsense, but I don't have much else to
contribute, and I didn't think it'd be right to just post, "mumble,
mumble" so I could pretend I was participating)

All I can think to say about now is "mumble, mumble"! <grin>
