So "I think, therefore I am not"? :)
Well according to materialism your thoughts are an illusion.
Perhaps the most profound illusion introspection foists on us is the notion that our thoughts are actually recorded anywhere in the brain at all in the form introspection reports. This has to be the profoundest illusion of all, because neuroscience has been able to show that networks of human brain cells are no more capable of representing facts about the world the way conscious introspection reports than are the neural ganglia of sea slugs! The real challenge for neuroscience is to explain how the brain stores information when it can’t do so in anything like the way introspection tells us it does—in sentences made up in a language of thought.
Has there ever been a crazier religion than materialist evangelism? :D
I do give credit to Alex Rosenberg for admitting materialism makes life completely worthless though.
