Quantum Mechanical VoodooJWKMM: "Something that is puzzling me about this discussion is the absence of any treatment of how anything causes anything." No, the explanatory gap is not in the explanation of causation; it is in the explanation of how and why we feel rather than just funct. (This discussion thread is predictably resurrecting and recycling the usual rationalizations and red herrings that keep papering over the explanatory gap. Perhaps it will help to name and identify them. This one is QM voodoo...) -- SH
