Who said anything about 'magic pixie dust'? I agree that the brain gives rise to (or 'powers') the mind, thanks to the laws of nature that happen to govern our universe. I may even agree with all the causal claims you want to make. But if you're going to start talking about identity, then you need to do some real philosophy.
