I, for one, am not saying that "existence requires an insignificant creature to observe it in order to be real". I'm not sure that humans are THAT insignificant, but that's beside the point. The point is that consciousness itself is elemental...primary. Individual human consciousness interacts with this background consciousness, as individual human bodies interact with gravity. As I'm sure you know, this is not just my view but is shared by a great many scientists...physicists...as well. e.g. Nick Herbert in Elemental Mind, makes this case, as does Stanley Sobottka, Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of Virginia in A Course In Consciousness, among many others.
