Amos, by fortunate coincidence, I happen to be channeling Dr. Edelman's consciousness right now! To you he responds: "It is silly reductionism, of course, to claim that you and I are just bags of molecules. But I do not believe consciousness arises from spooky forces. I don't believe in some Cartesian dualistic domain that is inaccessible to science. The brain is embodied and the body is embedded in its environment. That trio must operate in an integrated way. You can't separate the activity and development of the brain from the environment or the body.
