-garding what we think we can say about the fundamental nature of reality? It's physicists who are engaged in this argument. Oh, and Donald is a neuro-scientist too; a somewhat relevant biological science, surely, as he explains in the vid. And - erm - it's no use ever bringing anything from Wikideceivia to any discussion that I'm in. Nothing from the JWales deceit factory has any credibility AFAIC, simply because of where it comes from. The basic outline of the nascent new (and also very old) paradigm, pretty credibly precis-ed by Donald in this vid, is that the underlying foundation of reality isn't fundamental 'material' particles, plus energy; but consciousness. By a process of informational transactions between units of consciousness, the perceived, allegedly 'solid' world is brought into awareness, where it's assumed to be real, solid and persistent, whereas in fact it's more of a virtual reality, deliberately configured by the posited 'Larger Consciousness System' for we units of consciousness to play in; life after life. And yes, there is too a purpose behind it all!. But I won't go into that here.
