So there are non-local effects on the brain - but these effects are random

To the extent that the human brain is resistant to local quantum randomness,
it is equally resistant to non-local quantum randomness.

Colin, thanks for reflecting to my post.

Rather, he is saying that IF computational science is assumed (e.g. by
proponents of CTM) to be the correct mind-body theory, THEN the
appearance of the body (and consequently the rest of matter/energy) must
emerge as part of the same theory
