This in no way provides any evidence against the idea that thought is produced by the brain but does not physically exist.
Yet the fact that thought IS affected by such events infers STRONGLY that thought is of physical nature ... your attempts to claim otherwise supported by bugger all evidence is special pleading.

A bus and passengers ARE NOT specifically linked items whereas nerves, electrochemical activity and thoughts have been shown to be linked, linked so strongly that one cannot survive without the other.
