Fun little read about (I guess) the difference between the mind and the body and how that divide relates to those trying to find 'enlightenment' and the difficulties of quantifying such things.

It was entertaining, but ultimately I felt it was pointless.

There is no mind/body divide, the idea that there is is merely an artifact of consciousness, which is an emergent property driven by the complex interactions of our nervous system.

I totally agree.

Also, the whole premise of the story (in regard to the factorizations) seems somewhat derivative of "The Subjugation of a Ghost"*, except that this story has a ludicrous but funny ending (and an arguably weaker test), whereas Subjugation of A Ghost has a locical but serious one
