Would There Be Physical Reality If There Were No Consciousnesses Anywhere Ever?

-

You can’t say there’d be a physical reality if there were no consciousnesses anywhere ever. Can you?

We’re supposed to believe that we pop into existence at some random point, in some random moment, in the infinity of physical reality. Why should it be us? Why should consciousness ever be attached to some physical object. Why doesn’t physical reality have no subjectivities attached to it? Why shouldn’t physical reality have no subject dependent on the object. What if subjectivity couldn’t exist without physicality, and physicality couldn’t exist without subjectivity. Perhaps they go together, impossible to disentangle one from the other.

Why shouldn’t physical reality be there without knowing it’s there. Everything entirely as it is, planets, people, animals, trees, galaxies, stars, nebula, supernovas, black holes – there, but unaware they’re there. The entire infinite physical reality, as it is now, but totally unaware of itself/that it’s there, in any manner. Why shouldn’t that be the case – why shouldn’t that be reality. Meaning in each organism advanced enough in potential for consciousness, there’s no consciousness occurring. Total blankness of subjective experience across all of physical/objective infinity.

And yet there is, suggesting something to me, which isn’t simply mundane. At the least, it gives one hope that maybe your consciousness won’t just die forever when your body does.

Is the universe there because we’re there (subjectivity = primary, before all else/behind everything ever experienced), or are we there because the universe is there (objectivity = primary, AKA science/naturalism/physicalism)? Perhaps it’s not either way exclusively. Perhaps physical reality wouldn’t be there without consciousness, but consciousness wouldn’t be there without physical reality. They’re interdependent.

Some Thoughts On Existence And Nonexistence

  Hopefully, with existence, we’ll only be dying in a dream. Which is fine because it’s just an illusory end. An illusion of being the permanent end of existence. So the fear is for nothing. It’s either a temporary end or there’s not even a gap of temporal nonexistence that you somehow undergo. You just remain conscious at the instant of death. And onwards. In that even temporal unconsciousness for you is not an option, because you can never not exist in some way, some form or state. The appearance of going unconscious ever during life is an assumption, since just because you don’t remember what was going on in your mind and reality. It doesn’t mean you weren’t there in any way. It only means you don’t recall what was going on for you, perhaps. It doesn’t mean you were nonexistent in those times you don’t remember anything, per say. No memory doesn’t imply no experience. For instance, when you’re blacked out drunk you’re clearly having experience, it’s just not reco...

Fixation To One Organism/Experience

What level of brain damage would cause you to detach to your cosmic self or into another organism, how close to death before that happens? What if you are revived from death, i.e. cryonics, provided cryogenic preservation/revival works, do you come back from your cosmic self/the other organism to once again exist as the one who was revived? And then if duplicates of your organism nature creates exist of you in the future, would they be you? As in, quantum fluctuations out of the vacuum pop duplicates of your connectome into existence in uncountable lengths of time. Why do we always seem to be fixed in this particular organism we’re experiencing?

Permutations Of Personal Identity

Possibility 1: Solipsism – you’re only as yourself, in this one form (and you’re eternal). Possibility 2: Open individualism – You’re one self throughout infinite forms (you = eternal). Possibility 3: Science/eternal oblivion – each self is finite, and there’s probably an infinity of them. Possibility 4: Each being is eternal but doesn’t experience each other as themself – there’s an infinity of different selves. So which is it? And how can we truly know? ...The most fundamental mysteries. I think we’re really onto something. All of us, which reject the certitude scientists hold in an external objective physical reality independent and outside of consciousness. I think we’re turning the tide. And a new non-nihilistic science including the observer is emerging. It’s wonderful.
