@diversity_is_racism when are you going to have us all on a podcast so we can totally ruin it by having a full blown argument over the esoteric qualities of la bouche - sweet dreams

you can be the alt right Howard Stern

@devolved can be Robyn because I always suspected he wants to secretly be a busty black woman

how is thought and concrete reality linked, then?

Simplified: start with god i.e. consciousness as base metaphysics of reality

Individual souls are like waves on the god lake

So discrete yet connected

All reality then is essentially the "thoughts of god"

That seems dubios

Lol

And all thought also proceeds from those "god thoughts"

No spell good

Its a metaphysical model

so everything is just thought, essentially

Thats right

there's no link to matter because it doesn't exist concretely

No

Oh it does

Dont consider this thought simply as non material

what is it

Material is encompassed by it

Material reality is thought forms in time

So there is a thought and an electrical signal in the brain

What is primary in this model

The thought_symbol then the electrical signal

Which is the thought in time

There is no distinction between material and immaterial as its not needed

Your soul then is not just animating spirit in a "rock"

@vry_o MAYBE BUT NO HIPSTER MUSIC

But contains your material reality as well

@fallot CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT UNIVERSALLY SHARED

The substrate of consciousness is shared in my model

So reductionist idealism, everything is mind

So matter as well is conscious

wait

You could say that but the distinction no longer matters

Its a reasonable reduction

what is having these thoughts about stuff

Having these thoughts

That isnt how to approach it but

I mean
