Therefore, the intellect is not situated in the brain.
There are all kinds of problems with this argument. First, it's a non sequitur.
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe the logic in this argument is sound. The non sequitur is actually that the conclusion of the argument indicates any kind of immaterial soul. And premise 2 as well. IDK, the argument is shit as I see it. But perhaps it isn't shit for the reasons I initially thought it was.
