The point would then be that the assessed reality, based on the above reasoning and thought, would either have to be illusory or otherwise unprovably objective imo because the only way to prove it is through a conscious means. |
Conversely, if it is "physical" reality that is illusory, fictitious (Samsara, Maya), that arises from consciousness, rather than the other way around, then any TOE based on "evidence" from physical reality would also be illusory and fictitious. Is consciousness a by-product of physical reality or vice versa? Can you prove one or the other via the scientific method?
