On naturalism and consciousness

[bennyboy]

I would love to hear your explaination of your world view to a third party. You understand that I have to be an illusion created by your mind. Of course I'm assuming you are an idealistic Monist that follows the below definition.

Given what you quoted, it is not necessary to arrive at the statement about third parties that you are asserting here.

How do you explain a third party? How would you explain consistency of 'experiences' and their repeatability between third parties?

Because the individual parties are subsets of a greater whole. When I say the universe is idealistic, I'm not claiming that I made it with my mind, or that only what I personally can experience is able to exist. That's solipsism.

My world view can explain these 'experiences' by a very simple model that there are more than one mind existing in a physical universe.

That's not a very good explanation. Not only does it not provide any description of how minds come to exist, it doesn't even give specific criteria for identifying what physical structures do, and what don't, have minds.

No, I don't need to explain the physical mechanism of the mind to understand that we are two minds in a physical reality.

You just went on record saying that you've used Occam's razor to arrive at a physical monism because it most simply "explains ALL of the observable 'experiences.'" Okay, go ahead: explain them. Or, alternately, demonstrate how you can use your subjective experiences to arrive at a surety that there's an objective physical universe "out there," as opposed to you being in the Matrix, or the Mind of God, or a BIJ.
