Should I ask "who" or "what" wants to know"? "Can the mind be
explained naturalistically..." by what? WHAT is needed to explain
mind? What is the explanation of explanation?

Not only is there no need to explain mind, there isn't the slightest
possibility of explaining mind. Tell us what you see when you see
yourself seeing. Taste you tongue, and smell your nose, and tell
us about your experience.
