Default Re: OT - Sentience

The New Mysterianism perspective is that there is something unexplainable about the inner workings of a person. Possibly extendable to 'there are things that are unknowable'.

This seems to me a convoluted way to accept lack of understanding, an ornate way of saying 'I'm special'.

What about the flu virus? It uses people for food, unimpeded by mankinds attempts to stop it every year. It breeds with impunity for a season, and then rests until the next. Surely it is the king of the universe, content that it too is special.
