Until Mr Stamp cares to elucidate further on his wacky notions about awareness and consciousness (which have probably got a lot in them, but terms like baby and bathwater spring to mind), there's not a lot to be said. If we judge a person by their accuracy, however, he falls a little short. I am extremely alone posting on this topic and do not "pick teams"; I recoil furiously at all times, as you know, from silly talk of "proof"; and I didn't call him "thick", though he did insinuate that I was ignorant, without revealing why he thought so. I'll put that down to faulty memory. Not the sort of thing you expect from someone with such a hefty IQ!


[Actually, I did the IQ test myself at university, which I rapidly became ashamed of when I found out about Eysenck's despicable right-wing predilections and views on race, and discovered how you could coach yourself to get good scores in the IQ test. Uncoached myself, I too emerged with a hefty IQ (confirming the astronomical score I'd achieved when tested at 11 years old) which I've long regarded as completely valueless as a measure of anything at all. I find it surprising that anyone needing to promote their intellectual credentials would want to pull that one out of the bag. Doesn't seem a very intelligent thing to do to me!]
