Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

RE: Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist
(September 17, 2015 at 2:19 am)Whateverist the White Wrote: Assuming you convince yourself that everything is mind, what comes of it?  Will you not go on being motivated for exactly the same reasons you are now?

I don't really need to convince myself.  Everything that I experience, including the apparent physical world, is mind.  The default position is that I don't need to add anything else, i.e. specify the nature of the source of experience which is not really demonstrable anyway.

But basically, yes.  The only difference between a physical world and an idealistic one, in terms of living my life, is that one seems a better fit and the other not so much.  It has little to do with the nature of experience which one I believe.
