I still don’t see how the second paragraph is considered evidence for the first.

“Based on this evidence, the self, and the consciousness and awareness that comes with it, seems to exist in the structure of the brain. When the physical clump of neurons and lipids that is “us” becomes ruined, “we” no longer exist. In effect, the brain is a hard drive, and when it’s destroyed everything it contained goes with it”.

You says “seems to”, which becomes a very important word in this debate, and then carry on to say that carry on to say that this is definitely true. Where is the evidence that we (our consciousness) no longer exists upon brain death?
