Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist
RE: Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

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.
