Inspired by recurrent discussions in FIBS shout on issues concerning science and consciousness, stog asked me if I could imagine moderating an according group on fibsboard. I said I would like to give it a try, and so here it is.

The group's title is intentionally broad, so let's try and have some fun with this. I'm looking forward to hearing opinions spanning the range from radical theism to materialists denying the existence of mental phenomena.

I can only accept what I feel through my own "sensors"  Yes That make me my own God.
When I see/hear/touch/smell/taste something, I can come up with an educated? opinion about that "something", otherwise it simply doesn't exist for me.
Pretty dull, huh? Speculating and building interesting theories based on "nothing" (for me) is not among my hobbies.  Wink
Feeling emotions , feeling and "reading" how or what the people I meet want me to be is another story. It's maybe because I just cannot hide my own feelings and I am open to receive all what is thrown at me.
Nice thread, I wonder for how long it will live.

Helping people is tricky. Give help to anyone and he will remember it only when he is in need again. Since I am not someone who makes history, I help people.

I recommend if one is serious about this subject , to take a look at the dutch documentary called "Glorious Accident"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Glorious_Accident

It was on pbs here , so you might find it .

FANTASTIC !!
