If mind isn't elemental, then how do non-mental systems when put together allow for mind? How does the universe "know" that system X is just stuff happening, and system Y is a mind?
Shifting the burden of proof doesn't make your position any more coherent. It simply creates an argument from ignorance. If I don't know the specifics of how stuff happening creates mind, that doesn't offer any more support to your own view. I believe that mind is a result of a specific set of processes in the brain. That I can't name those specific processes isn't evidence against them.
