Hi Blacknad.

Returning to your comments on counsciousness, this is from STEVEN PINKER, professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT; director of the McDonnell-Pew Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at MIT:

"...we are learning more and more every day about the neural basis of consciousness?what goes on in the brain when you have a conscious experience?down to itty bitty details: why one thing looks redder or tastes saltier than another, and countless other details of perception, memory and emotion. The part that remains a mystery is why the purely subjective aspect of experience should exist at all...?
