This, right here, is it. This is your full and total objection to a material monist explanation of mind. You've simply surrounded it with rationalizations.
-Your- mind may be unique to you, even though mind is obviously not. I'm sure there are plenty of things unique to you, if it's any consolation.
Wait a minute, I'm not arguing against materialism with the thing you quoted. It is whether the unique function, properties or whatever that allow mind are of the brain specifically, or of certain kinds of processing more generally.
