The fact shit like this is possible is why I believe we are more than just the brain.
If we were only the brain, we couldn’t argue with it. If we were just the body, we couldn’t be at odds with it. We would merely be slaves to our impulses, the fact that we aren’t is all the proof I need.
Apparently we are actually two brains. And one half can’t talk. But does make choices on its own that can disagree with the other half.
Something they used to do is cut the connecting tissue between the two brain half’s. People who have had that happen have explain how the difference sides of their bodies will sometimes disagree with the other. And when that happens the talking half might come up a really non sensical reasoning to why it did what it did.
CGP Grey did a video on it. And if you search split brains you can probably find more. There an interview with someone on YouTube I watched a long time ago.
I’ve taken a few classes that touched on this concept. Most interesting to me is the concept of the two halves seemingly being secular vs deist, essentially. Now I’m wondering if the deist half is the “nonsensical” side, as you described.

True, but I’m still not convinced that there isn’t a brain mind separation.
