Does anyone have a guide to DIY chemistry? I want to make myself a little lab and make stuff

this is just unfalsifiable conjecture. Again you're putting something unexplainable to explain something you don't understand... aka god of the gaps.

Besides, why is this "radio wave", if it exists, not phyisical? It interacts with brain matter, thus it should be subject to study. There is no way to reconcile this except with voodoo magic. Since it's so inconceivable to you that matter can be the origin of the mind, just look at how scientists, with a few neurons, managed to replicate complex problem-solving behavior, and that's just with a few hundred cells (if I'm not mistaken). What would happen if you scale it up to billions of cells? Scale matters, just look at GPT-3 and other language models, they only work because of their scale.

You obviously don't trust science. That is an institutional and social problem, not a metaphysical one. Don't base your world view on current ephemeral politics.

>Brains aren't what makes minds
What is mind?

>high fidelity scan of your brain at a given moment and 3D print it at my leisure
This is literally impossible with current technology and its trajectory. Pop-sci like to parrot this shit because it sounds interesting, but ask any serious scientist, he'll dismiss this as nonsense. You're talking about reconstructing the body somehow, not just the brain. This is too farfetched.

>code, storage device, scanner
Okay, stop with computer analogies. It's like trying to explain rocket science with flight science. I guess what you're really asking is, if we can replicate all the physical parameters of your body, somehow, within the world of a simulation, would you still be you? That's an interesting question, my opinion is that there would be another separate you that is exactly identical. No need to over philosophize this, people think they are too special to be matter. Just stop and think.
