When you break everything down philosophically, reality becomes impotent, and so does consciousness (this makes me wonder about philosophy's usefulness, at least when it treads this path). Of course, what you say is true. But it is neither useful nor practical to the understanding of anything*. It reminds me of Justnowism.


*Except in understanding the senses and how the brain uses such inputs. We know that the world we see, hear, taste, feel, smell etcetera is not what the world is like. Our brains and senses don't give us an accurate perception of the universe, but they do give us a useful one.
