It's an argument from authority Argument from authority , what the hell are you talking about? In every experiment ever performed when the physical brain changes consciousness changes, and whenever consciousness changes a change in the brain can be found.

I don't know about Bruce but I'm not rejecting computationalism because I believe the mind is a information processing system. what I'm rejecting is "comp"; Bruno claims his silly homemade word means the same thing but clearly that's not true and the fact is I don't know what it means and I'm not sure Bruno does either.
