But people are NOT different. Even in the Castaneda book paradigm, we're ALL just an assemblage point in a bubble. Sure, the point moves. But we're ALL just moving points. That's the bedrock of us even talking about this. The FILAMENTS we assemble don't change. We assemble them in different patterns but we're assembling the same filaments.
I get what you're saying and I agree. On a biological level we're the same. The issue is we're not only governed by our biology. We have consciousness.
Bear with me for a second.
Materialism is the idea that reality is matter, and mind is generated by connections in your brain or something.
Idealism is the idea that everything is mind, and the world is like... condensed thoughts or something.
Both are consistent theories and you don't actually get to reality by picking one. It's more like putting them together.
Ignore him for a second. Do YOU think a pack of food appears in the grocery store because farmers grew it and truck drivers took it there? Or do you have a magical explanation?
