This isn't an argument, it's merely an assertion of a point of view, and one that isn't obviously true. The evidence on the other side of the argument seems much stronger than your argument about our visual field. When you look at all of the examples of brain damage causing peoples personalities to change dramatically, well you have a high hill to climb to say that who we are isn't material in nature.
