Material Consciousness?

Posted by Roberta Grimes • February 09, 2016 • 24 Comments

People tell me that my approach to scientific cluelessness has been too harsh. I’ve got to cut these people more slack! Fair enough.

I have just read the most foolish bit of nonsense that I ever have seen in Scientific American.
