It's easier to care about someone who communicates in a functional way. I don't mean to be insulting but I can readily make sense of your first paragraph, after that, I'm lost.

Ok where we part is, "then the self as a mental construct is also non-real", for the self has subjective experience which mental constructs do not.

@satyaahimsa Yes my computer has electrical signals but I'm pretty sure no subjective experience. Sometimes I think some people don't have a soul because they seem unable to make this distinction.

@satyaahimsa What I had hoped to point out and I guess was missed, is that having the same reaction is not subjectively the same as having the same experience but that is a purely internal subjective matter. If you have no soul, no internal subjective state, then you will not understand this. To you 'red' is just a word, a color, a wavelength, but has no subjective experience, you don't know what red looks like only that it stimulates your red sensor.
