But it does have the problem of how mind & matter interact. Yes, that is where the magic is.

Well, when it comes to consciousness the alternative is dualism and dualism is the belief in magic. Given how discredited dualism is it is amazing how far people will go to deny hey are dualists whilst spouting all the arguements and belief
