Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

[robvalue]

Lots of heavy shit going on. I'll just chuck this in, sorry if it's been covered already.

I agree that in the "world we experience" there is no matter, so to speak. We are receiving only an interpretation of reality, if there is one. The question is whether or not our interpretations have come from actual matter or not. This is something we can simply never know, as far as I'm concerned. We can't investigate.

So to just assume there isn't any doesn't seem justified to me. Things would seem the same to us if there was, or if there wasn't. That is the problem of solipsism. In practical terms, it doesn't matter which is true.

We don't have to assume that there is any, though. We can just live in our experiences, whether they represent real things or not. But proving there isn't anything "out there"? I think that's beyond our scope. Certainly beyond the scope of mere philosophy.
