There is no need to link to Eliezer's posts; I have read all of them, and the ones I disagree with, I will continue to disagree with even after reading them again.

The links are for the benefit of others who may be reading my comments. That being said, what exactly do you disagree with about dissolving the question?

if something is not a lower level thing

Assuming this "something" you're talking about is consciousness, I disagree. Strongly.

That is not because of confusion, but because of what you are talking about.

If you're claiming that you're not confused about consciousness and that you know what you're talking about, then you should be able to transmit that understanding to others through words. If you can't, I submit that you are in fact confused.

I can transmit it through words. We both know what we're talking about here.

Sorry, but I don't know what we're talking about (i.e. I don't know how to define consciousness). Could you transmit your understanding to me through words? Thanks in advance.
