Your lack of any ideas about it or understanding of it is not an argument.
You have no understanding of the mind beyond your subjective experience of your own mind.
You don't have the slightest clue what a mind is objectively. You know about some correlations but don't even understand this very well. You think a person driving a car with four good tires and driving a car with only two good tires and two flat tires is the same thing.
A mind is not a homunculus.
You just have one bad understanding on top of bad understanding.
You think brains construct minds for no reason. You can't give me one purpose for a mind.
You think brains understand ideas because your mind understands them.
What we call mind or consciousness is, according to all evidence, a collection of abilities, features and attributes of brain activity; an electrochemical process....altered by inputs, chemical or structural changes.
You have no evidence of the objective mind. You don't have the slightest clue what it is. It s a completely unknown phenomena beyond our subjective experience of having a mind. You have subjective reports and correlations and nothing else.
Give me one purpose for a mind?
Why does the brain need some other thing aware of the world (that thing researchers demand reports from so they can pretend to do research about the mind) when it is according to you making all decisions and therefore already aware of the world?
The mind is not a Homunculus, nor did I say it was. It is you who creates a version of an Homunculus with your autonomy of mind belief. If mind has autonomy, it has independence, having independence makes it an entity residing in your skull, acting independently of the brain.
There lies your error.
You don't even understand the implications of your 'mind has independence' belief.
Not to mention the absurdity of believing mind acts independently from the brain in the face of all evidence to the contrary.
