Considering the fact that my Macintosh started foaming at the disk
drive as I was reading Kalki's most recent ravings, I think it's safe
to say that his companion is not a tapeworm, as was previously
postulated, but a rather flourishing population of rabies viruses.

Kalki:

You have continued to insist that we shell out ten smackers for your
book, while refusing to post any preview of the proof.  It is not
unreasonable on our part to request that you post an outline of the
proof before we consider purchasing the book.  You seem to accuse
us of wishing to avoid seeing the proof.  However, there have been
constant requests since your appearance to see the proof.  Seem a
little inconsistent?  Yes, it does.  We want to see the proof before
we buy the book.  If you don't post it, shut the hell up about it,
because you have no credibility.

You have been told by many of the scientific explanations for this
thing you insist on calling "consciousness," and have ignored all such
postings.  You have never given us a method by which we can quantify
consciousness, and have refused to give any sort of diagnostic for
said consciousness.  Until you address some of these problems with
your position, you have no position.  You claimed that the fact that a
biological body is changed little when it dies is evidence of
consciousness.  You ignored the analogs offered:  that a car is
changed little when it breaks down, that a computer is changed little
when it is switched off.  You have failed to show that consciousness
exists beyond scientific explanations for it.

So.  Kalki.  Put up or shut up.

Oh.  And don't forget to chant:
  Mekka-lekka Hi, Mekka Hi-nie Ho.
