So you feel like you have a complete grasp of the argumentation and documentation provided throughout the book to the point where you feel justified in not only making claims about the author's arguments and claims, but in offering refutations to them, because you glanced at a few figures in a description of the book?

Individuation
>a chair is simply an amalgamation of particles; the conception of a chair as a distinctive object is projected onto it by minds
>according to modern physics, particles are not discrete objects but excitations in a field
>synesthesia offers compelling evidence that senses are not distinct from each other, but continuous; there is no precise point at which any one emotion, thought, or sense impression becomes distinct from another
>schizophrenics, stroke patients, and babies have all been noted to lack the capacity to psychologically individuate objects, or themselves from their environment: e.g. schizophrenics who believe they move the sun volitionally, visual agnosia in stroke patients, babies lacking a sense of self; our sense of individuation of external objects and our sense of self is merely a subjective psychological phenomenon and is not reflective of any underlying reality
>theoretically, two brains could be connected together in a way that the conscious experiences experienced by two seemingly independent subjects become one (William Hirstein argues for this in his book Mindmelding: Consciousness, Neuroscience, and the Mind's Privacy)
There seems to be overwhelming evidence that individual, discrete things do not exist, and that there is only one thing. But if this is the case, what is that thing?

It’s fucking Valve. Do you honestly think that they’ve never thought about this and never made a contingency plan?
