Part 6/10:
In contrast to physicalism, the speaker proposes an idealist approach, which starts from consciousness as its foundation—not as a product of physical systems, but rather as the primary reality. By asserting that consciousness can be mathematically precisely modeled, this perspective suggests that space and time can be derived from the stipulation of conscious experience rather than treated as fundamental entities.
This approach promises a simpler framework—requiring fewer assumptions than physicalism. Instead of postulating physical spaces and entities, one begins by focusing solely on consciousness itself, creating a model that could offer new insights and possibly solve the hard problem of consciousness.
