Moreover, you're assuming that a full explanation of mind won't show how matter is essential to mind. That's an argument from ignorance.
Yep. Furthermore, while I can imagine a physical world which gives rise to organics which can perceive and cogitate about what is around them. I cannot imagine nothing but disembodied mind creating a pseudo world which is based on nothing at all except fancy. Can't join those on the other side of that looking glass.
