Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist
RE: Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

I say that a physical world view is a collection of ideas about a subset of all ideas-- that subset composed of sharable observations consistent enough to allow the inference of rules, mathematical or otherwise.  So any explanation you make, whether via direct observation, or through the experiences of reading books or listening to college professors, is subsumed by the greater set of ideas.  And I'd include QM in that greater set, by the way, rather than in the set of ideas properly referred to as "physical."
