Comment on “We know we are more than just neurons firing. Or, at least we think we are, while the neurons are firing.”

I think you should explain why a "mind" doesn't need the brain to arise. Are you thinking in purely transcendental terms (saying the mind is something supernatural, like a soul), or are you saying that a mind can arise from things other than brains (say, the entire earth [see: Gaia Hypothesis] has a mind, or a community of plankton has a mind).
