in order to maintain the posturing that you have a rational argument you
are required to answer the obvious question: given the fact that you've
admitted (that there is experiencing), is there something that is
experiencing or is there nothing that is experiencing?
it must be one or the other; so, pick your poison; or, fold up your
tent.
