| SeriousWB said: Yes, but try and describe a loss of conscious. When you lose consciousness, the next thing you will know is waking up and regaining consciousness. So if there is no consciousness at the end, what did being unconscious feel like? But in fact there would be no unconsciousness, because there is no conscious! *WB's head asplodes* |
Well, Emerson said something like the privation of an attribute isn't its opposite. I believe he was using the example of "good". The privation of the characteristic of "good" from an action doesn't make the action "bad/evil". So you could just as well apply that to the privation of consciousness and your paradox disappears.
