Thanks for giving it another try. > My claim is rather that causality can't be a sufficient explanation for rationality. By this I mean that we can't explain rational thought by referring to the cerebral states that are associated with it. I'm zooming in on "explain" here. And I'm not getting it. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing -- I'm not even following -- and I have some guesses as to why: 1. Are you offering a critique of the lack of free will argument I made? 2. If so, I'm not able to figure out where it lands: for? against? something else? 3. Either way, I haven't yet figured out what you mean by "explain" here. 4. Most broadly, I'm not seeing why this matters. I want to understand, but I haven't yet figured out how to get there. If you are laying out a known philosophical position, could you please point me to a resource that explains it?
