    You're right - that is bloody irritating. I take the point about bodies
    (and environments) being extended parts of the minds input, and
    therefore an intimate part of it btw; I guess I was just trying to smoke
    out any true quantum consciousness fans (for a fight basically).

    Yep, I'd say that was about it. Deterministic, real (in the sense of no
    magic), environmentally driven, physiological little us.
