Also, the brain is more concrete where the mind is more abstract you can change your mind about something but that doesn't mean you change your brain so the brain and mind are not always interchangeable

First of all the person in the article holds my view, they are saying that the brain and the mind are the same, that is why damage to one effects both so fully. The author then goes to mention in a slightly condescending way that many people like to think there is more to the brain than just the mind, and those people are wrong. Those are the self entitled teenagers and failures in the world who try to justify getting everything they want with no concrete proof of why they deserve it. Also, you most certainly could use 'change my brain about something' and it would be a weird but correct semantic. Finally, Mad as in angry and Mad as in insane aren't synonyms dumbass.

" Finally, Mad as in angry and Mad as in insane aren't synonyms ****." I was unable to see the last word you commented plus, why are you talking about mad, insane, and angry? this post isn't specifically about these concepts also, the mind and brain can be put into a venn diagram the mind and brain aren't the same exact thing like I said mind is more abstract the brain can weigh a certain number of ounces the mind doesn't hold this kind of weight

The mad mad example was your example from the comments of the post you lived to me in your reply, it's wrong and not a synonym; It's called a homonym. I'm saying the mind can definitely weigh a certain amount, by definition alone they are the same thing. If you say the mind is more abstract that your neither correct nor incorrect opinion on the semantics of how the word used but TECHNICALLY you can say 'I have mind tumor' or 'I'm not a robot I have a brain of my own' and it's correct. It's just uncommon.
