UPDATED Thank you very much for your answers! Due to the answers, the post has been updated and something added. Modern *brain-centered evolutionary reductionism* says that: Ego, personality and "free will" are just illusions, "optical effects". Culture: music, poetry etc; some romantic, delicate feelings are just by-products of evolution. Evolution has no "meaning", sense, "goal" etc. *** Instead of evolution, we can consider any process or explanation. The main thing is that all the concepts that were considered philosophical or important, special - received the simplest explanations. Good and evil, space-time, philosophy and morality - *all have no essential special nature.* I see a parallel here with Buddhism. *** Space-time, causality, all math and science have roots only and exactly inside the brain. The existence of an "external objective world" is only a hypothesis, a model. *** No one claims that *certainly there is no outward world*. *Nor* is it necessarily there. It is a model, a framework. Here I see no contradiction with @ChrisW answer *** Aside from the idea of reincarnation, is there any contradiction with Buddhism in these statements?
