Conjuring Consciousness: Does consciousness exist? - Daniel Dennett.

Consciousness is both the most familiar thing to all of us, and one of the most mysterious. Real consciousness, in the eyes of some people isn't something you could possibly explain. There are even scientists who think, almost by definition, consciousness defies explanation. It's beyond human explanation. If you've explained anything, what you HAVEN'T explained is consciousness.

Daniel Clement Dennett III is an American philosopher, writer, and cognitive scientist whose research centers on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology, particularly as those fields relate to evolutionary biology and cognitive science.

He is currently the co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies and the Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University. Dennett is an atheist and secularist, a member of the Secular Coalition for America advisory board, and a member of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, as well as an outspoken supporter of the Brights movement. Dennett is referred to as one of the "Four Horsemen of New Atheism", along with Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the late Christopher Hitchens.

Dennett is a member of the editorial board for The Rutherford Journal.

$Fluoride and Fluoridation of Water - What is Fluoride? Fluoride and Fluoridation of Water - What is Fluoride? Sodium fluoride, sodium silicofluoride, and fluorosilicic acid are toxic waste products, created in manufacturing processes of fertilizer, aluminum, steel, and nuclear industries. These artificial substances should not be confused with naturally occurring fluoride. For nearly 50 years, the U.S. government and media have been telling the public that fluoride compounds (generally referred to simply as fluoride) are safe and beneficial chemicals that reduce cavities - especially in children. Manufacturers add it to toothpaste and municipalities put it in the publics drinking water. But fluoride has another side that the government never mentions. It is a toxic industrial pollutant. For decades, U.S. industry has rained heavy doses of waste fluoride on people. By the Environmental Protection Agencys last estimate, at least 155,000 tons a year are released into the air by US industrial plants. Emissions into lakes, rivers and oceans are estimated to be as high as 500,000 tons a year. If this increase in fluoride dose were proved harmful, the impact on industry would be major. The nations air is contaminated by fluoride emissions from the production of iron, steel, aluminum, copper, lead, and zinc phosphates (essential for agricultural fertilizers); plastics; gasoline; brick, cement, glass, ceramics, and other products made from clay; coal-burning electrical power plants and uranium processing. As for water, the leading industrial fluoride polluters are the producers and processors of glass, pesticides and fertilizers, steel and aluminum, chemicals and metals copper and brass, titanium, super alloys, and refractory metals for military use. Industry and government have long had a powerful motive for claiming that fluoride is safe. But maintaining this position has not been easy since fluoride is one of the most toxic substances known. Airborne fluorides, reports the U.S. Department of Agriculture, have caused more worldwide damage to domestic animals than any other air pollutant. Evidence that industrial fluoride has been killing and crippling human beings has existed at least since the 1930s.
