Quote:I've claimed that arriving at a materialistic world view via scientific observations is a non sequitur. This is because those same observations could theoretically be made in any sufficiently complex universe-- the Matrix, the Mind of God, a Brain in a Jar (maybe).Could they be? Ready with that explanation yet? How have you determined this statement to be true? Help me give it a value greater than 50/50?
Well, everything we know is known at an idea level. So whatever reality is, it is capable of generating ideas. This is probably the only indisputable fact that I know of. All of the things I mentioned are pretty obviously going to be capable of generating ideas.
