@mud. I'm not sure I can answer your previous post in five thousand words or less, figuratively if not literally speaking; it would be a long post. So since I'm currently sleep-deprived and playing a Mafia game that's taking up all my time and energy, do you mind if I wait until the game is over, or at least until I'm out of it and rested, before I reply? I'm enjoying our conversation but these sorts of posts take me hours to write, and on top of a mafia game, it's really hard work. So if you're willing to postpone continuation of this discussion for a week or so, that would be much appreciated 
But in the meantime, if you want to understand my perspective on mind/body/reality/neuroscience in detail... the thinking behind my first post in this thread among other things... then I'd recommend reading the "Seeing Red" thread in this, the Philosophy, forum. It was a very involved and thorough discussion - principally between me, bennyboy, Rhythm, Jormungandr, and ChatWooters - on these questions, with many multi-hour posts, and as far as I was concerned was an absolute goldmine of insight. And this discussion here with you feels pleasantly reminiscent of it
