So I wikied WTF he was talking about. Am I right in my understanding:

He's claiming we are all "brains/minds" formed from stuff that came together in the universe by hapinstance and everything we perceive (aka: all our senses) are just our space brain fabrications? Is that the jist or am I totally nuts with that?
