  I wish to discuss a large, interwoven set of topics pointed at in the title
above. Much of what I say is highly speculative, some is testable, some is, at
present, surely not. It is, I hope, useful, to set these ideas forth for our
consideration. What I shall say assumes quantum measurement is real, and that
Bohm's interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is not true. The Stalemate: In our
contemporary neurobiology and much of the philosophy of mind post Descartes we
are classical physics machines and either mindless, or mind is at best
epiphenomenal and can have no consequences for the physical world. The first
main point of this paper is that we are not forced to this conclusion, but must
give up total reliance on classical physics.
