Do you understand why I would be frustrated that the bolded portion of my quote is not answered by the bolded portion of yours in any meaningful way that furthers discusssion.
Unless, of course, you're willing to qualify and quantify *precisely* what about "those sciences" convinced you of the truth of the neutral monist position? So far I haven't seen it, perhaps I missed it.
I respect that and I don't think I have the time to do it right now.
I would refer you back to what you seemed to get regarding QP and say that the results of those experiments sway me toward neutral monism. Also gene expression studies and psychoneuroimmunology studies make me think that assuming mind and matter are seperate is not going to lead us to a comprehensive understanding of either.
Let me think about this some more and I'll elaborate when I have time.
