      @craig_mcfarlane All Values depend on Consciousness; All C depends on Natural Law; All Values depend on Natural Law... undistributed?

          @SamHarrisOrg You're right: it's question begging or circular reasoning. x -> A, A -> y therefore y -> x. Still two words, though.

          @SamHarrisOrg @craig_mcfarlane "values depend on consciousness" is not the same as "consciousness causes values".

          @blindkittykat @SamHarrisOrg @craig_mcfarlane but "values depends on consciousness" is equivalent to it. And that's my exact point.

          @antheologian @craig_mcfarlane There could be consciousness without values--if all conscious states were equivalent.

          @SamHarrisOrg @craig_mcfarlane Or, by analogy: All life depends on water. Water -> Life (W->L). Wrong. No water -> no life (~W->~L).

          @impleri But at least that lets me fix the wrong link before he sees it and tries to use it a proof of my wrongness.

          @SamHarrisOrg @craig_mcfarlane Values may also depend on Fairies. Having Consciousness does not entail the existence of Fairies.

          @SamHarrisOrg Point is, even if your conclusion is correct, the argument is not.
