Quite interesting.

This sent me on a trip through various topics on Wikipedia. I read about how Advaita is much like Mahayana Buddhism, which I have been trying to understand for a while. I read about Wittgenstein and Gurdjieff and many other things.

You've gotten to the ultimate questions about reality a bit sooner than I have.

"the existence of an abstract Consciousness is just another story the illusory self tells whoever will listen."

Wow. I'm impressed.

Neil deGrasse Tyson says God is just an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance. I wonder if reality can eventually be completely explained by science. Just as we are wet cells on two legs, controlled by electrical impulses and chemical reactions.
