It certainly sounds easy. Do you agree? Specifically, is mind just a higher level of description for brain processes?

Since there are so many of these performers crowded under the circus of "mind", the magician will usually get lost in the cover of that majority. Few onlookers in the audience will be perceptive enough to notice that the acrobats, elephants, lions, clowns and other acts don't belong to a special category in which the performance is like a spell that conjures dissimilar events not composed of the magician and his/her actions.

It will be interesting to see, if we live that long, what explanation science will come up with for all these mental states that fall under the umbrella of "mind". What will be passed off as explained well enough? Will it satisfy us as much as say the biological explanation for life does? Or will it only serve to emphasize the total separateness of the problem of consciousness/experience as a core issue that is not even getting addressed?

Just wait long enough and everything they claim will inevitably come true. The fly in the ointment is that it isn't a valid argument now.
Computers have memory, they can recognize human speech, analyze images, etc -- not as well as people yet, but that too incrementally improves.
