Pic related gives another example in terms of physicalist explanations for mind. The neural binding problem. So not only can they not figure out where or how what we see on the screen of consciousness is or is made manifest, the whole thing is mapped and there is nowhere that it even COULD be encoded. It's INCONSISTENT with neural activity.

>A mind is just a bunch of brain processes
No it is not. IF the mind is caused by the brain, it is not, but let's assume it is, then the mind is the internal subjective experience that accompanies the goings on in the brain. This can not be located any where in a brain by the way. See pic rel for just one example of why the brain can't cause mind. The brain can't account for consciousness.
>Saying that there is just one mind is equivalent to saying that there is only one brain (yours)
No, it is not. Mind and brain are not the same. And brains can't cause consciousness. See picrel for the neural binding problem for just one piece of evidence against this premise. There are tons of others.
>As you are very unlikely to be a boltzmann brain (because otherwise you would have disintegrated by the time you finished reading this post), you must be a brain formed through biological evolution
Irrelevant. Brains don't create minds. Minds create brains, as evidenced by the fact that brains are only ever observed in minds/consciousnesses. No matter including brain matter has ever been experienced except as a mental object.
>Evolution implies the existence of many brains and hence many minds, so solipsism is debunked.
Evolution is not needed to explain a single mind. See here

You are simply making inferences about things which can not be verified to have occurred. Like a person immersed in a video game who cut's down a tree with 300 rings and infers that the tree existed before his own birth, when in fact the tree is a virtual tree and the spacetime and any item in it were booted up concurrent to the observer's first experience.
