This is my 90 sec entry into the pwnage Olympics.  It is a response to Professoranton‬‏ 's video, "Thought is Incoherent":

Following are some supporting evidence to back up my claims. 

I know many potential viewers who are seriously uninformed will not think my view of neuroscience and consciousness is typical among neuroscientists, psychologists or AI researchers. The following video is of Baroness Susan Greenfield a professor of Synaptic Pharmacology, Lincoln College, Oxford University which will demonstrate my view is typical:

How does the brain generate consciousness?

Others might challenge my understanding of the term "category error" so below is a link to Gilbert Ryle's 1949 book The Concept of Mind :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Concept_of_Mind
http://www.amazon.com/Concept-Mind-Gilbert-Ryle/dp/0226732959


The book uses the term "category error," to label the problem mystics, like David Bohm and Jiddo Krishnamurti who are mentioned in Anton's video, and dualists have with the concept of consciousness. Ryle illustrated the error by imagining a visitor to a college, who, after being shown the library and school buildings, asked "But where is the University?" The visitor's mistake was thinking that a University was a building on the campus rather than the whole "institution" he visited. The university is an abstract and complex conglomeration of buildings, people, procedures, and so on.
And consciousness is an abstract process produced by a complex conglomeration of brain structures studied by neuroscience. 

And since Anton mentioned David Bohm and Jiddo Krishnamurti:
