The problem with emergent propery explanations is that they don't
really seem to explain anything.  "What is mind?"  "An emergent
property of the nervous and endocrine systems."  Great.  It seems
that you might as well say "It's a magic thing based on the
nervous and endocrine systems."  Perhaps there is something
missing from my understanding here.  If so, clue me in.
