The concept of a concept is a tautology, it doesn't create the infinite regression you seem to think it does. I'm actually really dissapointed in you, I thought we were getting somewhere and then you dumped all these rationalizations on me that are all beside the point. You're not going to agree with me on principle it seems, whether you're taking that stance consciously or not.
My words remain simple. The mind is all there is. I take a solipsistic view and I consider it to be the most rational one(the only rational one, by necessity, but let's not dwell on that, you seem a little touchy about the subject as it is). There is no world outside of the mind because there's no language to describe it, for one, no mental processes to understand it, to grasp it. A universe bereft of consciousness is one without meaning, literally. And meaning is everything. I don't know how else to drive this point home, so I'm just going to let it be, for now.
