Subjectivity in general IS the world, why do you talk about it like it was two "things", with a dependence between them?Tamminen wrote: ↑May 1st, 2018, 11:42 am But although the world is independent of my personal existence, its being depends on the being of subjectivity in general, so that there must be someone or something experiencing the world so that we can meaningfully speak of the world at all. So the basic subject-object relation is genuinely ontological, so that the being of the subject depends on the being of the world and the being of the world depends on the being of the subject. And by 'the subject' I mean subjectivity in general, so that there must be at least one experiencing subject in our universe.
(As such, there is no actual ontological subject-object relation, and the evolution of consciousness in this universe is no essence.)
Also, "individual" subjective time needs no beginning when spacetime is a closed loop, but such a hypothesis is untestable too.
