Hi Jerry,

Obviously, you do not believe that mental capacities are the result
of a 'soul' or some such. So not a soul, not a computer. From
whence do you think mental capacities arise? Would you agree they
are 'emergent' from lower level process (including brain processes)?
Would you agree that they are one side of the social relations of
production?

Best wishes,

Andy
