			<description><![CDATA[I debated the essay in a forum thread entitled, <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27700" target="_blank">Dar al-Hikma</a>. I participated under my own name, as member '<a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/member.php?u=10473" target="_blank">wstewart</a>', July - August 2013. <br />
<br />
A Freethought Forum sample:<br />
<ul>
<li>Opening with a question: "Does Old Paul pass to New?"  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27700" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1</span></a></li>
<li>Essay approach to the question:  Establishing precedence of the unfelt time-gap concept over personal identity:  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1144285&postcount=155" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1</span></a></li>
<li>Magical sci-fi thought experiments on personal identity:  The case for lighting a match:  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1144290&postcount=156" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1</span></a>  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1144292&postcount=158" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2</span></a>  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1144470&postcount=186" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3</span></a></li>
<li>Opponents approach the question with lines of reasoning that seem irreconcilable.  Someone's wrong:  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1147904&postcount=354" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1</span></a></li>
<li>An opponent tries to explain unfelt time-gaps:  The predicted result:  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1144688&postcount=194" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1</span></a></li>
<li>The actual result:  <a href="http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1149052&postcount=371" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1</span></a><br />
</li></ul>
