at the instant the bus hit that person, Politzer, sitting at his home at<br />

that same time, would feel the impact too. Politzer would experience<br />

all the sensations experienced by the person undergoing the accident,<br />

just as the same song will issue from two different loudspeakers<br />

connected to the same tape recorder. Politzer will hear the<br />

braking of the bus, feel its impact on his body, see the sights of a broken<br />

arm and spreading blood, suffer the aching fractures, experience<br />

entering the operation room, the hardness of the plaster cast,<br />

and the feebleness of his healing arm.<br />

Just like Politzer, every other person connected to that man's<br />

nerves would experience the accident from beginning to end. If the<br />

man in the accident fell into a coma, so would everyone. Moreover,<br />

if all the perceptions pertaining to the car accident were recorded in<br />

some device, and repeatedly transmitted to someone, the bus would<br />

knock this person down again and again.<br />

But which one of these two buses hitting those people is real? To<br />

this question, materialist philosophers have no consistent answer.<br />

The correct answer is that all of them experience the car accident, in<br />

all its details, in their own minds.<br />

The same principle applies to our other examples. If the nerves of<br />

materialist Johnson, who felt pain in his foot after delivering a sound<br />

kick to a stone, were connected to a second individual, that person<br />

too would feel himself kick the same stone and feel the same pain.<br />

So, which stone is the real one? Again, materialist philosophy<br />

falls short of giving a consistent answer. The correct, consistent answer<br />

is that both Johnson and the second person have fully experienced<br />

kicking the stone, in their minds.<br />

In our previous example, let's make an exchange: Connecting the<br />

nerves of the man hit by the bus to Politzer's brain, and the nerves<br />

of Politzer, sitting in his house, to brain of that man who had the accident.<br />

In this case, Politzer will think that a bus has hit him, but the<br />

man actually hit by the bus will never feel the impact and think that<br />

he is sitting in Politzer's house. The very same logic can be applied<br />

to the example involving the stone.<br />
