Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

[bennyboy]

So by empirical, are you not hypocritically begging the question just as the OP did?

Begging what question? Just throwing random nonsense at my refutation of the OP in the hopes that it'll stick is no way to engage in a debate.

But then again, you are trying to argue a conjecture with no basis under any conceivable measure.

Because the rules of evidence you are talking about require that you've already made philosophical assumptions about the nature of reality, AND those rules demand that any argument made against your assumptions must be framed in a way that supports them. You are, exactly, doing this:

Umm.... your argument flat out falls apart when you assert that "X" is true in order to lay out your proof for "X".

What if I said, "God is real, and you can only disprove the existence of God through legitimate spiritual means" and then refused to accept your "evidence" on grounds that it didn't properly conform to the assumption you are in fact arguing against? That would be stupid, right? Well. . . explain how you aren't doing that but with a different assumption.
