Orn, I did see your last post but haven't really digested it yet.
I am only asking questions. I have a direct experience of myself so for me this is proof that I exist. What I am is a mystery to me. I suppose that B F Skinner was a philosophical zombie who was designed only to emit sounds which I have interpreted to be about behavior, but they are actually about nothing and so without knowing it he was telling the truth about himself. It is funny to hear Skinner attacking cognitive psycholgy/science. Unlike much early psychology cognitive psych is considered by mosy academics to be scientific. I suppose that behaviorism is better at predicting and manipulating human and snimal behaviour, but that is not the goal of cognitive psych. Maybe Skinner had been conditioned to not speak about mind.
