This has been explained several times.
The first cause is being. Being is not a mental construct. It is pretty obviously real.
You don't have to care about it. You can have a long and happy life and never think about it at all. If you're one of those puritans who is against masturbation (mental or otherwise) then why do you spend so much time on a thread about the first cause? Is someone forcing you to masturbate?
Define this "being" as more than a mental construct. It is definitely not obviously real, except as a concept.
Why do I engage you? I like calling you out on your bullshit. You've actually accomplished next to nothing. All you do is repeat what you've read, over and over ad nauseam and somehow think you're special. How's that for an ad hom?
Big fucking whoop.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
