"Then there are the "rocks" who are very tight players in poker who only bet and raise only in highly "favorable" circumstances and sit there endlessly patient ." LOL! So right! :-)

<Because a rock is a discrete reality it will naturally be experienced in similar manner by intelligent creatures. > Actually there is little evidence to support this and lots to support the contrary. The lizard blasting full speed across the rock and leaping to the desert floor to catch a bug experiences the rock completely differently than we do as we stub our toe on it... then pick it up and throw it. The lizard may even have gripping and texture sensitivity in it's feet that makes it's experience like nothing we EVER experience with rocks. It also flys in the face of Darwinian evolution... in which one would expect a particular organism's reality to correspond to that which would help it survive... ie. catch food, get away from enemies, etc. ie. it's reality would be radically subjective.
