Evidently the same input and similar/different minds can as well produce both different and similar output. Has something to do with mind tuning.

    The element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought
    In other words, your brain. Your mind is just a function of your brain.

    I meant in structure and composition it is the same cells constituting an ugly slimy mass. Like all livers, hearts and kidneys are similar (except pathological, of course). Thanks to simialrity of brain all people are able to feel and to think. Since what they feel and what they think are different it is their mind that accounts for this difference.

    A mind is the set of cognitive faculties that enables consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, and memory

    I was referring to the theory that consciousness and all these things are just a side-effect of the TTBS, I donb't have the time to investigate and think about how that relates to an age-old definition of mind, which is probably wrong and outdated. I also don't think the nerves in the spinal cord or in the eyes came up with the idea for agriculture. But if you insist you can replace brain with mind and it won't invalidate my point that similar systems (see, even more generic now) with similar input are likely to yield similar output if the number of systems and therefore processes is big enough.
