Can any of you help me with this conundrum that I'm having with the administrator Paul in this Philosophy Forum on Metaphysical Naturalism? <a href="http://www.philosophyforums.com/read.php?TID=257" target="_blank">http://www.philosophyforums.com/read.php?TID=257</a>

What exactly is the problem? The preceptions-brain problem? You seem to be doing OK.

Well, Vorkosigan, this Paul guy believes that there is only objectivity outside of perception and that with perception, you only have subjectivity. He claims that the 3rd person perspective isn't anymore reliable than the 1st person perspective. He thinks that the 3rd person perspective is just as subjective as the 1st person perspective. He also believes that the brain is a perception of our mind and that our brains do not create our minds. Stuff like that.
