Well, for example:
Suppose my naive intuition felt uncomfortable that my brain is clockwork. Makes me feel like a machine..
However, my naive intuition felt comfortable with my "soul" having intangible thoughts which exist on some separate soul-plane and interact with only with one another (and not with objects) except insofar that they produce actions on the external, object filled world and receive sensory input from it.
Once the "comfortable" view has been explicitly stated, it becomes clear that the "uncomfortable" view actually is the comfortable view, just phrased in different words and with minor alterations.
So what is your version of the "comfortable" view?
I'm not actually sure if I'm allowed to say that?
Edit: oops
The comfortable view is indistinguishable from the uncomfortable view I agree.
er...what? I do not understand.
Aw shit seg fault :D
