In principle I can't prove which I'm in. You're right. I left that out. But I see no reason to believe one over the other. But perpetual doubt is disempowering

In principle I can't prove which I'm in. You're right. I left that out. But I see no reason to believe one over the other. But perpetual doubt is disempowering too.
And when I face an undecidable with equally plausible answers, I'm forced to test each view to see the results: what's life like with view x vs. view y. That result becomes the metric for a view's worth.
And honestly that could be solipsism. Although I know it as a similar concept some call "subjective reality". Again I don't believe in solipsism or SR, I'm just pointing out that either could be true and you could never know. I do believe in the multiverse though.
I always thought computers as conscious would prove consciousness was physical. I didn't realize my mistake till recently.
