    To say anything about the world, you blatantly obviously need consciousness first. That’s the status quo. The burden of proof is on materialists.

    Burden of proof for what? That you need a brain to make observations of the world? That’s not a hard claim to support.

    You, however, seem to assert some form of magical super-consciousness that seems utterly undisprovable

        Ohhhhhh, its solipsism in a trenchcoat.

        Indeed, I can’t solve the problem of hard solipsism, but neither can you. I can only say that we’ve made a pretty successful run at things by just assuming we all share an objective reality.

        And if that reality doesn’t exist outside my brain, I’m a pretty fucking impressively smart girl, with some really fucked up issues.

          It’s not solipsism, as I specifically said in my first post. It’s idealism. There’s a significant difference. I suggest you read on it before throwing around terms.
