    United Secularists of America

    3220 Lowry Road

    Dear Mr. Thor:

    In answer to your letter, I must say that I do not think that individual atoms can think.

    I have not written very much about the process of thinking, but under separate cover I am sending you a copy of my article on general anesthesia, in which there is some reference to this matter.

    Sincerely yours,
