By what method of determination do I experience existence separate from your experience; more to the point, what determined both our particular experiences and could one have been shunt in place of another (by what alternate means could I have experienced existence through your perspective or vice versa)?
Why here, why now...why not exist a thousand years from now or a thousand years past?
Can this ever be coherently approached or determined materialistically/scientifically? Or, is metaphysics a fundamental necessity?
Strangely, I was perseverating on this very question the other night (which is highly unlike me) but I couldn't come up with the words to describe what was running around in my mind. Thanks for lending me your articulation!
