"What makes humans unique is not reducible to our brains or biology"

Does not Brains and Biology encapsulate everything that lets us make sense of experience?
So you're not reducing anything by making that statement, imho.

Sounds a bit like OP is saying you cant reduce earths existence to the observable and unobservable universe.

I am not an article author, all I said was that two things are not the same, but article argument does make sense to me, since even an executable file on a computer cannot be reduced to the states of bits on hard drive despite hard drive encapsulating it entirely.
