      Repeat after me ten times: “Whether or not the laws of the universe are reductionist has no bearing on how I assign meaning to events and objects.”

      And yet things like God, transubstantiation, souls, the mind, goodness inherent in actions, purpose, a thing having a nature, telos, are all rejected in part on reductionist grounds.

      Not sure how you can claim the mind is rejected by reductionism; that seems like claiming computer programs don’t exist because it’s all just circuits. Purposes/telos only make sense in reference to a given mind; the purpose of a hammer is to pound nails, etc.

      "The mind is nothing but the brain, it's not a real thing on its own, just a useful abstraction we use to talk about the real material thing which is the brain"

      If you are trying to change someone’s thoughts through brain surgery, this is the useful viewpoint to take. For most other purposes, treating the mind as an object in and of itself is the useful viewpoint. Regardless, the mind arises entirely from atoms.

          A mind that lives on the substrate of organic molecules can be the same mind as one that lives on a substrate of silicon or a mind that lives in a universe with different physics. The atoms are not an essential property of the mind.

          Just as how the chairness of a chair has nothing to do with the specific particular materials that chair is made of, only general requirements for the materials.
