[MD] Mystics and Brains

[Case]

[Platt]
Perhaps when you get a moment or two you can explain how the interaction of
nerves and chemistry in the brain produces an idea. 

[Case]
I would direct you to John Searles who explains that ideas are phenomena of
brain activity in the way the solidity is a feature of mass or warmth is a
property of fire or brightness is a feature of light. 

Now if you could return the favor and explain how ideas can occur in the
absence of nerves and chemistry, I would be very grateful.
