I act as though I am responsible for my actions and treat others as if they are responsible for theirs. However, I reject any non-materialistic view of reality. The “gap” is a lack of an explanatory and determinative model of consciousness.
Well, consciousness was indeed out of scope for this post, but I will cover it in future posts. Spoiler alert: I do believe in a non-materialistic reality.
It seems the nature of the universe is proven to be based on a non-algorithmic understanding of reality. Now intuitively that makes me think this also eliminates a pure materialistic view of reality, because if it were purely materialistic, that should theoretically be able to be modelled by an algorithm. But I wonder if I’m skipping a step in that case…

I respect and appreciate your up-front disclosure. I have no desire to debate that topic.
We disagree on the fundamentals of reality. I do not expect that we can find a set of definitions that would allow us to have productive discussions.
I do wish you well.

If borne out, all it seems to prove is that we are not within a simulation. To my thinking, an unrelated topic.
