<I don’t see it as radical or particularly new, except that it is being promoted by Hippy Eastern Mystic Physicists>

Yes, just new to this thread... Promoted?? I guess that's dependant on your viewpoint.

<This theory also pushes a science of moral realism as foundational, with material expression ...>

"Moral realism" takes on differing meaning depending on ones overall philosophy or viewpoint... if consciousness is omnipresent "objective moral values" are replaced by an infinite context.

<The obvious problem encountered when pursuing such discourse is obtaining agreement in ethical semanticisms.>

Right, you'd have to 'realize' consciousness as omnipresence to transcend the need for 'agreement'.

<‘So What?’.

Yes, but you could have said that when you found out the earth wasn't the center of the universe. Some assume truth is a good thing to find/persue, etc.

<What purpose does human consciousness serve, if not to allow human will to liberate self from the grosser endeavors of human existence.>

But isn't that happening?? Isn't that 'evolution'?

Interesting post, Gem

Let us pretend that we "allow human will to liberate self from the grosser endeavors of human existence."

What do we have then??
