Fwd: the curse of materialism
Roger, I liked your 1p think therefore 1p am But your statement below, although correct , is much too vague. Quantum mechanics is not understood because it is not complete. Feynman came close to completing it but still missed an essential property. That property is that the quantum mind has instant action. Something you have been preaching for some time. With instant action, the quantum mind can be understood. Instant action derives directly from your claim that the quantum mind from monads to quantum fields are out side of spacetime. I just add that it is effectively out of spacetime because the quantum mind is a Bose-Einstein Condensate BEC. which allows the monads to be distributed thru-out the universe yet act as though they were out of spacetime.

Re: Fwd: the curse of materialism
Hi Richard Ruquist That sounds fine, except the BEC is not something specific, it is not a mind or brain, it is matter. I imagine that it condenses in some container held near 0oC. That condensate could be considered to be a monad or substance. And it could of course be conscious in some way, but it has nothing to do with being human. It is not even a brain in a vat.

Roger, Any kind of particle from photons and light up to molecules can form a BEC. BEC is a mathematical object and not confined to any one substance.

Hi Richard Ruquist Yes, of course. The monads are mental representations of physical bodies in the world. You will presumably have for your physical object some container in L He with a BEC at the bottom. Physical objects such as rocks produce bare naked monads. Is that what you want ?
