Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!
The only thing the evidence shows is that there is relation of dependence (of some sort) between the mind and the brain. Your supposed evidence that the mind is a product of the brain is just as absent as the evidence for any other theory.
For beginning the following is a start for the scientific view:
It is well documented and supported by brain scans that the relationship between the brain and the mind is the only relationship that has been documented. The relationship between brain injury, genetic defects, drugs, mental illnesses have shown this relationship.
its an argument by weblink anyway which is against our rules.
It was NOT just an argument from web link I gave an intro, and a description of the research in the conferences. It is the long list of conferences and research articles on the subject. I did give a summary of some of the articles I looked at. It is unfortunate that you do not want to your own homework on the science. Up to now you have presented nothing. I gave a good article from AAAS that described much of the current research and evidence on the subject, some of the ethical problems of the research, and it was ignored.

This web link leads to the others if one wants read the many research articles on the subject.
As an alternative I may cite a selective few of the hundreds in the conferences, because after check getting to the conference articles takes some effort,
more to follow. . .

merely making an assertion and listing a search result is argument by weblink.
I cited an actual article that describes actual research concerning the relationship of the brain and the mind, I will cite more, and you cite a juck list (arguing by web link with no explanation) that provides nothing of sort.
The best is probably the first, but it is just a philosophical discussion on the hypothetical possibilities and no research was referenced. Will keep this on file for further discussion.

Linking articles as your argument IS argument by weblink you ninny.
You need to make a point, then quote from your source the relevant parts that support your point and then give a link. You can't just make a claim then link to an article.

You are supposed to provide a short summary of what the link says and that can be as short as a single sentence. The only exception is for OPs
I'm always still in trouble again
"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman

It was provided as a list of conferences and research as a companion article cited. No one has responded to the excellent artcle cited, and like you, ignoring the vast amount of research on the relationship between the brain and the mind. Of course you failed to note Sparkos posting by web links iwth literally bogus references, and not even a sentence explaining them. I described a few and found he was clueless as to the content.
I also corrected that I would cite individual research from the list. I do not believe that Sparko has volunteered to do so, and acknowledge that he was clueless to what he posted.

You're actually supposed to provide some of that supposed evidence after making such an assertion. So we can have a look at it and seeing if it actually points to the conclusion that you claim.
Pansychism Chrawnus. It is the theory that mind is inherent in matter. It's not new, but it's catching on with many in the field.
