how can we ever know if matter exists beyond the conscious experience of it?
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoIsn't that merely agnosticism?
- namaria 3y agoNo, that's physics. Last year the Nobel prize was awarded for work providing evidence for the fundamental non-locality of the universe. Objective materialism seems more and more untenable on the face of hard evidence.
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoThat work didn't demonstrate nonlocality, it debunked hidden variables theory.
- namaria 3y agoYou're right, I went on a news article full of misconceptions. Thank you for pointing it out.
- anon84873628 3y agoThe secular version of it, yeah. I believe the more academic framing is called epistemic constructivism or idealism or something.
