    It's pretty funny that you disparage philosophy then make use of a metaphysical object (mind), and then perform a thought-experiment to refute the point of the 'brain in a jar' thought-experiment.
    Well, I didn't disparage philosophy, I'm pretty interested in lots of philosophical questions; I disparaged [some] philosophers.
