Most of what you said is somewhat confused from not reading the entirety of my post in context. Sure, some emergentist theories of, well, anything are reductionist, but certainly not all of them. As I said earlier, there are in fact non-reductionist physicalist theories of mind in philosophy of mind. Otherwise, even emergentist positions are, again, not inherently or even probably reductionist. Thermodynamics is an emergent system that cannot, for example, be reduced to quantum mechanics. It cannot be found there, yet when one scales up to larger systems it's patently there, an example of a complex system not reducible to its constituents.
However, I can't actually remember if that's true. I might just be wrongly remembering something Steven Weinberg said in the "Moving Naturalism Forward" summit.
