You failed to count all the myriad aspects of minds that have reductionst explanations. Consciousness is what’s left.
I don’t see how this alters the claim that the continuing absence of a reductive theory of consciousness is evidence against reductionism. Counting all the myriad aspects doesn’t change that fact, and thatt’s the only claim I made. I didn’t say that the continuing absence of a reduction has demonstrated that reductionism is false. I’m only claiming that Pr(Reductionism | No Reduction of Consciousness available) < Pr(Reductionism).
I think the existence of the Bible is evidence for Jesus’s divinity. That doesn’t mean I’m discounting the overwhelming evidence telling against his divinity.
Fair enough. I just think that seen in the context of the human mind, so far the evidence in general comes down fairly solidly on the side of reductionism, so I wouldn’t recommend clinging to consciousness as the dualist liferaft in the metaphorical reductionist storm.
