[Louis Foxwell]

The ability to modify one's ability to reason by electrochemical stimulation does not make of reason a physical activity. The use of stimulants to alter an individual's ability to reason is not the issue. That reason is foundational to the practice of science is the issue.

If science is nothing more than the mechanistic contrivance of chemical process it has no value. You can not have it both ways. You can not grant that science is an intellectual investigative discipline and in the same breath state that it is nothing more than an electrochemical process.

[King Prout]

baloney.

that is like saying I cannot call a program a word-processing system AND a series of zeros and ones.

you excel in the false dichotomy.
