THERE IS NO MIND, there are just outcomes of motion which people call "mind". Just like speed is an outcome of the motion of a car.
Yet if you shoot your own heart out then you will also lose all your mind's functions, the brain is not the only crucial part of the mind's existence.
The existence of it as a by-product of the brain's processes is more understandable but there would still be a mind, as you say it is the same as speed, speed still exists.
But surely there can thus be no consciousness if there is no mind, is that the point you are making? if not then i'd like you to elaborate, if that is not too much trouble
There are living people walking around without their hearts. Your heart can be completely removed and thrown to dogs to be eaten and you can live for decades without it, with a simple pump in its place.
Try that with your brain.
