What good does it do to dwell on what you're saying?

First of all, I don't dwell on such philosophical topics. Let's make that much clear. Also, notice that I agree with your stance on reality that matter (the objective universe) is real. I'll accept being categorized as insane, but I can't accept being labeled as a flat-earther or no-earther (to coin a term) ;)

You confuse me in your latest post when you agree with my assertion that the alternate hypothesis can't be "utterly" disproved:

I wouldn't say you're wrong about it being utterly provable or unprovable.

,then you go on to say:

The scientific approach does not fail to disprove that consciousness is more real than matter.

That's a total contradiction. That is, unless you intended to qualify the second case of using the word "proven" as being more of a "soft prove", as in "not 100% certain", which only supports my argument further.

Also, you say it's an irrelevant topic, but please realize that relevance is a very subjective term in this context. Irrelevant to what? To whom?

I know of many philosophers, past and present, whom think that this is a VERY relevant topic, as just one example, off the top of my head. I personally see it as a topic that can really expand one's imagination and creativity and that it can be a very healthy exercise, when approached from the right frame.

Oh, and it is possible that the alternate hypothesis IS true...and the alien things, too! and God! and Santa Claus (although it would probably have to be in some alternate universe)! etc., etc.

That's one of the beauties of life: you can't be certain of anything!
