I liked my response better, Stuart.  You know why?  I wouldn't be caught dead 
with another ignoratio elenchi.  You seem to have become quite a master at 
picking and choosing bits and pieces of concept spheres in order to call Searle 
names--but who is the shaman here?  Searle as mystic because not a dualist?  Or 
Searle as mystic because a dualist?

Deepak Chopra was found arguing that our systems are like quantum systems such 
that we have the grace of superimposed states which allow for our freedom and 
utter specialness.

Namaste.

Cheers,
Budd
