Physics Is Pointing Inexorably to Mind

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/physics-is-pointing-inexorably-to-mind/

“The mental universe exists in mind but not in your personal mind alone. Instead, it is a transpersonal field of mentation that presents itself to us as physicality—with its concreteness, solidity and definiteness—once our personal mental processes interact with it through observation. This mental universe is what physics is leading us to, not the hand-waving word games of information realism.”

TLDR: There is only information, the physical world is just a byproduct, and things are only “real” in our mind.

Goodbye Objective Reality

“But Proietti and co’s result suggests that objective reality does not exist. In other words, the experiment suggests that one or more of the assumptions—the idea that there is a reality we can agree on, the idea that we have freedom of choice, or the idea of locality—must be wrong.”

TLDR: They created an experiment to see if two observers could get different results (based on polarized photons).. and the answer is yes. Therefore science is now completely rubbish because experiments can’t be trusted. Can this experiment be trusted?

“The click beetles in my backyard don’t notice that they’re surrounded by intelligent beings — namely my neighbors and me,” Shostak said, “but we’re here, nonetheless.”

TL;DR: We are not alone, we just can’t perceive the super intelligent beings around us, just like bugs in the backyard can’t perceive us.

Quantum Monism

If I understood this correctly.. the idea here is that there is an underlying the multiverse there is fundamental reality that everything is connected to via entanglement. I think.
