Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

[bennyboy]

Our models may attempt to describe reality, but that doesn't mean that our models -are- reality.  Not really as deep or divergent a thought as you seem to be fishing for...since this is the elephant of mind from pages ago all over again.  There isn't enough room in my skull for an elephant.  Likewise, there isn't enough room in my skull for the entire universe.  What -will- fit in my head is a model of the universe, a model of the elephant.  We could test this empirically, if you'd like to help me cram an elephant up my noise, or the universe into my ears.  I predict failure on both counts.

There's no demonstrable link between any theory and ultimate reality. The models describe a coherence among a set of common ideas, experiences, inferences and assumptions. Whether they represent any reality beyond the experiencing is a. . wait for it. . . total mystery.
