    my quote contains a conditional invitation.

    yes.why is that not obvious? however you could ignore the restrictions and answer with "both" or "neither". do not tax yourself tho. remain true to form and say absolutely nothing

    submit the paper. i shall grade it. i doubt if it would be an improvement over you present discourse. go on, knock yourself out

    that is utterly stupid. you lack an understanding of the dynamics and issues involved. you assume consciousness to be an emergent property of the brain. no one has yet proven this to be the case.

    explain with citations

    Ah you are right I am and I do. The mind body duality is not for me. I am but a naive realist. I bow to superior intellect.

    nor that which opposes it.

    I want to reply to you but have forgotten how to spell arrogance, so I shall desist

    What is your current level of understanding ? Do you know anything about split or multiple personalities ?

    It may help if you think of George Bush

    I have had some observable experience recently but, being a naive realist, can I really trust my own perceptions?

    The point of neuroscience is that it's all in the mind. Make a note of that before I continue or you will get lost in the quagmire of the mind/body/identity problem and its possible connection with the transcendental
