disagreeing with me would be both dastardly and preposterous and I certainly can't imagine why anybody would willingly do such a thing.

That you would need imagination for something so obvious and then also lack it....my tears are flowing.

I DISAGREE with you.

So, HOW would this, supposedly, be BOTH 'dastardly' and 'preposterous'?

And, WHY can you CERTAINLY NOT even IMAGINE WHY ANY one would be willing to DISAGREE with you?

Are you under some sort of ILLUSION that what you SAY and CLAIM here is IRREFUTABLE?

One is the organ, the other the function of the organ.

One is the organ, the other the function of the organ.

No brain has a mind. Whole organisms have brains and these organisms can have minds. We don't know if minds are limited to organisms with brains. But we know that organisms with brains have minds.
But then why just the brain? Experiencing, the core subjective aspect of minds, is affected by the neural nexuses around the heart and guy. The endocrine system radically affects experiencing. There are neural receptors all over the body. Whole organisms have subjective experiences. Yes, many cognitive functions are connected to the brain, but this is something within consciousness, experiencing.
