I'm obviously talking about empiricism where there always has to be an observer to observe the result.
All these things are a given.
No, you don't understand. The 3rd one as having reality independent of the mind is true, but empty in the following sense. It tells you that there is something there, but not what it is in itself, other than it apparently has consistency and regularity.
Example: If I imagine that I am a computer program running that was started 25 seconds ago and will stop in another 25 seconds, my experiences as happening in my mind would be the same as if I was in a universe as you assume, we are in. But there is no way to test that even in principle, because you can't get outside your own mind apparently, because you experience through your mind.
So for the 2 universes, the experiences of consistency and regularity are the same, but what they are as independent of the mind is different.
So we are once again playing the differences between methodological naturalism and metaphysical/ontological/philosophical naturalism and you assume the later, but you can't use evidence on that. And there is no evidence, proof, reason, logic and what not that can decide it.
You are apparently just of of those non religious humans, who don't understand the limit of evidence, proof, reason, logic and what not.
It is unknown, what the reality as independent of the mind is other than independent and that it appears to have consistency and regularity. When that was realized in philosophy, you got the split between philosophy and science. Science is without evidence, proof, reason, logic and what not in effect the belief that reality independent of the mind is, as it appears in the mind. But that is an acceptance of faith as for all the following definitions of faith: firm belief in something for which there is no proof; complete trust and something that is believed especially with strong conviction.
Further it is supernatural in the following sense: of or relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe.
That the universe is independent of the mind as it appears in the mind, is an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe.
Hi TagliatelliMonster. I have been doing this for over 20 years now in company with primarily your sub-culture of believers and it took me some time to get. You are believers, you are just not aware of it.
BTW I am also a believer, I just know it.
