Consciousness as the foundation: New theory addresses nature of reality

7. C'mon, that's just wishful thinking.

I know people are scared of big numbers, especially those involving the depth of all time and space, but theories like this don't make us any more than we are, they make us less.

This is just another flavor of Creationism.

The universe will go on its merry way with or without "consciousness," whatever that is. Knowing that my own presence here in this universe is so infinitesimally small and brief, indeed that the presence of humanity itself is so infinitely small and brief, gives me a greater appreciation for those aspects of reality that I'm able to understand.
