Or as another "what if". What if our physical reality is LITERALLY shaped by our consensus view of it? What if back when the general populous thought the world was flat (no dig on flat earthers here) the earth was actually flat, and as we evolved to see the world as round it BECAME round as a result of our collective belief in it. What if physical reality is actually a constantly changing thing that depends upon our perception of it in order to be perceived at all.
So in other words. If there is no consciousness to experience "that which is" then "that which is" wouldn't fundamentally exist, as there is no conscious basis for establishing its concrete existence. Thusly, if consciousness is fundamentally what brings "reality" into existence, is it proper to think that perhaps consciousness is what shapes the very nature of "reality" itself?
