ummm... I was not 'reparsing', I was parodying in order to indicate fuzziness of clarity....so 'strawman' is not relevant.

I agree with your clarification of different types of thoughts and that there are 'greater' sorts. I simply (as you well know) don't accept¹ that the greater ones somehow participate in some ethereal realm apart from the neuro-chemical interactions.

   I think it is perfectly possible that we will ultimately be able to explain our 'ideas' of God and other metaphysical concepts by deeper understanding of them boring physio-chemical interactions ☺. It even seems to me like a way out of a dilemma.



1. ("don't accept" is not the same thing as 'deny'. You keep accusing me of being a "hard core materialist" when I merely require more evidence than interesting phrasing.)
