That's where my thoughts currently at.
That's what a lot of philosophers have said. I say, "Have at it!"
Let me know what you come up with.
You talk like if it was a matter of choice. But to have anything
different from idealism you have to speculate on things that nobody
has ever seen, and which escapes the computable. Idealism is not a
belief in ideas, it is a skepticism in matter. Comp explains why we
have to be skeptic on matter. Materialism will die like vitalism. It
is just a big 'animal' extrapolation which appears to be inconsistent.
Science is born from a departure of the idea that what we see is what
is real. Aristotle just bring that idea, a very popular idea indeed,
back.
