[Platt] Well, you know, great minds . . .:-) ------------------------------------------------ [Platt] To me consciousness is awareness is experience is Quality and is everywhere all at once. I merely tap into it as does my cat, UTOE, and all other creatures, great and small. [Arlo] Since you believe your cat to be an automaton, an undynamic, static, wholly predictable pattern capable only of responding with clockwork predictability to external stimuli.... what on earth is the point of your cat "tapping into consciousness awareness"? I mean, isn't the POINT of "tapping into awareness" to allow Dynamic responses? If not, it's a highly over-rated and useless concept. What good does "conscious awareness" do your cat, if its every response is a predictable, habitual, static response? [Krimel] Slow down there big guy. Great minds are often befuddled by the polysyllabic. The fingers bleed with paper cuts from thumbing the dictionary. Terribly unedifying and the smell arouses the feline bloodlust...
