How is one supposed to have meaning if one can define anything as it pleases them to do?
​
If you're right then he's right, too. Then words have lost their meaning and nothing can be properly defined.

Re: Consciousness?
I don't want to side track your debate but...
​
Ah, so, but we ARE bigger than our brains. There is research to show that other cognitive and/or cognitive-enhancing processes are happening, often faster and clearer than the brain...
​
This is not true.
​
In your above quote you seperate "us" from our "brains," as in 2 seperate things. This is very incorrect, it's the sum of all parts that the "body" makes up.
​
Nothing is happening faster than the brain can respond to and transmit with, what you may be refering to is that things are happening faster than you become conscious of it...which is a different thing.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
