Certainly our subjective experience can be deconstructed that way. The ontological status of the realization itself is debatable, though...

So far the physics is lining up with the core realizations remarkably well. Doesn't mean they're all right, but... the record is good.

Replying to

The record has the exact same fundamental problem as our 3D rendition of our reality, though: there's no reason to believe it's complete.

Replying to

nothing is complete. That isn't a reason to reject.

It's not a rejection. I just question its primacy over e.g. a 3D view.

*shrug* just be careful not to cripple yourself by rejection of your own discriminatory conscious experience for models that are inaccurate to it. About half of insight is "oh, the model I was given is bullshit, it isn't how consciousness works."

Yeah, that's not exactly what I meant though. I don't reject anything. I'm just very skeptical of paradigmatic explanations derived therefrom. If anything, I tend to maybe trust conscious experience a bit more than many mystics would. It's ontologically valid, IMO.
