When you do an action, is perception on your part a huge part of it? Your intention, your observation of the situation, your desire in all, your love, etc, is this not all not physical but a matter of perception?
How does then the action take physical shape to who you are as opposed to forming part of who you are through perception?
You’re talking about human perception now. If I killed every other human and animal, then no one would be perceiving me. I have no reason to think I’d suddenly cease to be in this instance. Of course, no one else would be perceiving my actions, but I would still be doing them. The potential for them to be perceived would be there.
If you’re saying I actually exist within other people's perceptions of me, then that’s true in a sense, because we all really live in a VR simulation of an assumed objective reality. But I see no reason to think that all these other VR shutting down would shut down either my VR, or a hypothetical objective existence.
Again, it’s circular to say that if I’m not being perceived, I’m not being perceived. Of course I’m not. But I do things all the time with no one perceiving me, and it doesn’t seem to be a problem. God's perception of me, if it exists, is another matter entirely. That perception only exists... if it exists, but it again is not the same as a hypothetical objective reality. If it is, then I am literally a figment of gods own mind.
