On naturalism and consciousness

[bennyboy]

You can occam razor those other possibilities. Granted, that occam's razor doesn't disprove the other possibilities, but you or anyone else I know offers good reasons to believe in them.

Since all our knowledge of the physical world is presented to us only through experience, then Occam's razor is that the experiences are self-sufficient, and need not represent an actual (and unprovable) external world. Or if you want to get even simpler-- solipsism.

Your definition of experiences is so broad, it emcompasses everything from emotions, beliefs, ideas, reasoning, etc... Then your complaining on why we are not using anything else. This is dishonest. It's like your asking me to prove gravity to you and complaining that I'm using science

My definition of experiences is maximally broad, since there is absolutely no part of life, including our knowledge of what we take as reality, which isn't necessarily mediated by experience.

But what if experience isn't what we think it is? What does that say about everything else?
