Mind is the brain?

[Brian37]

There is no "paradigm". There is no mystery.

You are literally your brain in motion. No different than a car with fuel will run and a car without fuel will not run. Human simply are stuck on old claims and gap fill out of a sense of false comfort and or fear. 

You smash up your computer into unusable parts it will not function as if it were int tact with no damage. YOU are your brain in motion. No, it isn't sexy, but it is reality.

That's a lot of assertions, but you will have a hard time supporting them without begging the question, I think.  But let's find out-- can you please support your many factual statements with logic, evidence, or ideally proof?

If there were life after death or something separate called a "spirit" or "soul" one could easily prove that by decapitating their own head sew it back on, and have it come back fully functioning. Now again, it is no different than your computer, try smashing it up into unusable parts and see if it functions the same way as if you didn't do that.

No assertions, we are finite.  An molecule outside the context of an in tact brain won't function as the in tact brain. An atom outside the in tact brain also will not function as the entire in tact brain. It would be just as stupid to think you could blow up your car to bits, and expect the tire to work like the in tact car.

A single cell or dead cell beyond repair will not work like a functioning in tact cell, much less an entire fully functioning brain. Have enough cells die beyond repair, you die.

Our brains in our healthy lucid state have a very specific order, brake the parts apart, deny it fuel it is no different than any other living thing or even a broken unusable mechanical object. WE DO NOT survive after our brains are dead and beyond repair.

It is why when someone suffers brain damage to the point of being a vegetable you are not the full version. Or when you have a degenerative brain disease like cancer or Alzheimers while you may fade in and out of your lucidity, it always gets progressively worse when diagnosed as terminal, to the point you are not there and until your brain dies to the point of your other organs being affected to the point of permanent death.

We DO NOT SURVIVE OUR DEATHS. The thing we call "I" is our brain with fuel and motion.
