If the facts about my brain were exhausted by the facts given to us by physics, then there'd be no reason to suppose that there were any blue-experiences going on at all. -- Dave Chalmers (dave@cogsci.indiana.edu) Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition, Indiana University. "It is not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable."
