Counterarguments to “cogito” have been made that remove the “I”, stating that you only know that thought is occurring, but not that you’re doing it. But I have no issue with cogito, but it is an obvious presupposition that others exist or reality exist. The problem of solipsism cannot be solved. But they are assumptions we all make, otherwise we can do nothing. No steps can be taken before we agree that reality is real.

However, from there, I suggest you warm to the notion of “I don’t know”. You’ve somehow decided that reality is made of sine waves, but seemingly without any basis for such a belief. It’s clear that you some wild ideas about the nature of reality, and you may even believe them…but you didn’t give any evidence why that is the case. Have you measured these waves? Can they be detected? From where do they originate? Where do they terminate? How did they begin, how do they perpetuate? These should be a fairly simple questions for a phenomenon that you have sufficient evidence to believe.

As empty as the basis for waves was, your discussion of cosmic consciousness was even less clear. I don’t even understand what you believe, let alone why.

I’m open-minded, I happily heard you out, but at the end of the day it’s the same as every other pseudoscience woo belief. You’re, seemingly, so uncomfortable with not knowing the answers that you’re willing to make up answers. But you don’t have sufficient evidence to believe it, to accept it as true or likely true.

Ready? I’ll help you out. Why is there something rather than nothing? I don’t know. What came before the rapid expansion we call the big bang? I don’t know. If space and time came into existence at that moment, does before even make sense? I don’t know. Does material reality exist? I don’t know, but I think so because every bit of evidence I have indicates that it does, and I have no evidence to the contrary. Are the laws of logic absolutely inviolable? I don’t know for sure, but I think so, again all evidence points to yes, and to demonstrate they are not true, you’d likely have to use the laws of logic to disprove the laws of logic.

It’s been interesting, but also frustrating. Have a good day.
