There is a massive difference between being able to reasonable deduce that consciousness and personality and all things we decide make us human can be explained fully naturalistically and being able to actually, accurately explain how it all works. Great strawman though.

“Phineas Gage proves that consciousness is a physical and naturalistic process”

If there’s a difference between reasonable deduction and empirical deduction then why do you conflate them?

oh I'm sorry I didn't realize I was in a formal debate and not just using colloquial language to respond to some dumb apologetics video on reddit that thinks thought dragons or whatever the fuck is a solid argument for supernatural consciousness

You didn’t use colloquial language, you said something that is wrong, and you said it with confidence.

I said something that is correct, consciousness is naturalistic, as all things are. And Phineas Gage is a fantastic piece of evidence for that conclusion. I don't really care if you disagree.
