Nope. If you want to say anything (matter, rocks) exist before consciousness, you’re going to have to prove it first. Else, you’re insisting on a materialist dogma.
Just because the idea is novel to you personally, doesn’t mean it’s outlandish.
No that’s not how science works, there is no evidence that consciousness existed before matter whereas there is plenty that matter existed before consciousness. Your extraordinary claim that it does requires evidence which you haven’t provided.
If you were to provide anything tangible to go on rather than reiterating your point I might consider it further. If not it’s actually yourself pursuing unfounded idealist theories.
It’s not novel to me, I’ve heard other spiritualists spout similar nonsense many times before.
Well then sounds like you’re suggesting the universe is consciousness in and of itself as many religions do.
I thought you were talking about panpsychism which at least has potential paths to falsifiability.
Falsifiability? Prove that matter exists before consciousness.
Rocks aren’t conscious.
Rocks have existed longer than brains.
The argument isn’t if rocks have individual consciousness.
The fact is that rocks exist inside consciousness.
Universe-is-a-brain theory, got it.
Trouble is the burden of proof lies with you on that.

“plenty that matter existed before consciousness”
Prove it. Prove that anything exists outside consciousness right now, that isn’t just an appearance inside consciousness.
“Prove it”
That’s not how science works either. Nothing is 100% proved but we have enough evidence to suggest it is way more likely than your theory:
You could speculate about anything but without evidence you’re just making up your own form of religion mixed with solipsism.
