Why would your awareness be different from the awareness of a pool ball? I mean I guess you could say that you feel different from a pool ball, but then I'm supposed to assume that your feelings are atomically different from the feelings of a pool ball and then I realize that you're going to use that difference to make yourself feel better. And I can't say anything to make this obvious difference clear to you and... omg somebody hand me a gun to put myself out of my misery.

How do we know how a pool ball feels?

The point is the complete avoidance of a thing that reacts to physical forces.

This is more interesting than free will. How did consciousness arise anyway?

You do understand that pool balls aren't aware right? Oh, yeah, you're still on nitpicking the 'better awareness' line.

You're making this into a "He believes this because it makes him feel better." bull**** argument again. It's a lot like Christians who say that atheists are just telling themselves god doesn't exist to feel better about sinning.

No, believing I'm different from a pool ball doesn't make me feel better. Believing in free will, a stance I never took, wouldn't make me feel better. Whether or not free will exists is completely irrelevant and it does not give existence any sort of objective importance that you think it does.

Prove it.

Then OH falls back on the other Christian argument.

My proof is the lack of evidence that they have awareness. Especially understanding that awareness typically comes from living organisms that have brains.

A pool ball's awareness is different from ours. They can, if necessary, sing.

Pool balls are sick of the oppressive humans beating them with sticks.
