I'm starting to see how you managed to come to that flight of fancy now. You can;t tell the difference between a cantelope, a ferrarri, a pc, or a golf club. Things must all be the same stuff. Matter-mind. Matter-melon. Matter-9 iron, and ofc none of these are dinstinct from each other, none are specific. So, its Matter-mind/melon/9 iron/computer/ -all of the stuff happening-. All properties of matter, nothing specific, nothing discrete.Look, either a whole system is mind, or a part of it is. If you cannot demonstrate that the whole system is, then it must be assumed that part of it is.
Bad assumption. Mind = configuration of stuff. If the configuration is not there, you still have stuff with no mind. But mind doesn't exist apart from stuff.
