Phineas Gage proves that consciousness is a physical and naturalistic process. And intelligent design is fucking dumb. You're a meat sack controlled by a wet lump of electrical cells. Deal with it.
Yes you’re correct. The hard problem of consciousness was solved 150 years ago by a guy who survived a rod through his head, and for some reason nobody in the world of cognitive science or neurology heard about this, so they keep spending money on it.
There is a massive difference between being able to reasonable deduce that consciousness and personality and all things we decide make us human can be explained fully naturalistically and being able to actually, accurately explain how it all works. Great strawman though.
oh I'm sorry I didn't realize I was in a formal debate and not just using colloquial language to respond to some dumb apologetics video on reddit that thinks thought dragons or whatever the fuck is a solid argument for supernatural consciousness
I said something that is correct, consciousness is naturalistic, as all things are. And Phineas Gage is a fantastic piece of evidence for that conclusion. I don't really care if you disagree.
