"I know other people are not robots"

If you "know" something to be the truth, prove it.

You intimated that you don't believe in the supernatural / extra-natural.

That means that you believe that a mind is "natural" and as such can be proven by science. So I'll ask you again:

Please EXPLAIN __HOW__ YOU KNOW that other people besides yourself have a mind, and that they aren't just pre-programmed robots?

Please don't deflect my question by attempting to make me the subject again this time like you did in your previous reply. Your inexplicable reference to a movie you saw once is also an illogical non sequitur that has nothing to do with my question.

Argh, it is logically impossible to prove a negative in the context you describe. How about this, you can't prove that I'm not god, discuss. Pretty stupid huh? I don't want to participate in your experiment any more than you want to do mine.

Please don't try to lure me into some arbitrary philisophical debate on absolute truths with pointless rhetoric.

Being able to talk in circles endlessly proves nothing other than the ability to talk in circles endlessly.
