I am disposed to ‘idealism’. In philosophical terms this is the idea that human experience is a kind of virtual reality. It implies that there is no objectivity outside of consciousness, that the conventional wisdom of the split between subject and object (mind and body) is illusory. Everything is basically psychological.

When I discovered you could infer this from quantum physics I found the idea intriguing. Many philosophical problems disappear when you accept idealism as a fundamental explanation for how things are. There are no beginnings and no endings necessarily. Only an enduring phenomenology of experience. What may have brought things about in the first place is then less relevant a question. There was no first place.
