I've got a copy of my big toe by Thomas Cambell, read about a third of it, haven't finished it yet. I have very similar views to him though.
My take on all this nonsense is that there's a limitless super-consciousness that is utterly beyond description or even understanding, the name Brahman from Hinduism fits quite nicely. It's beyond hyper-intellience, which includes supreme emotional intelligence which makes it's love so powerful we can't even imagine. It choses to experience itself as subjective units of itself, i.e. as life. It creates the ultimate game, the game of life, to play for all eternity as a way to be. It can probably be something else entirely while also being life at the same time due to existing extra-dimensionally and is capable therefore of knowing everything that will ever happen, because from the vantage point of an extra dimension, this super-consousness can survey the whole game. But if it wants to play the game, it has to encarnate into the 'mode of ignorance', or 'game mode', where it becomes limited or at least appears to itself to be limited.
While being one of these apparently limited consciousness units, such as a human, we often talk about the subconscious and the unconscious. I like to say that actually they too are also consciousness, only our 'surface' consciousness isn't conscious off them, even though they are part of the same spectrum or continuum of consciousness. Likewise is the so called 'Universe' or 'dead stuff'. It's consciousness too, but appears as unconscious consciousness, or we can call it deep-consiousness or super-consiousness.
This leads me to agree with bytemaster saying that he is the only one who exists, because if he is referring what I'm galling the 'super-consciousness', which is who or what we really all there, then I am that too.
People interested in this should check out Avatarism. It's a sort of mock-religion invented last year at burning man, using the idea that the Universe is a massive multiplayer game and we are all avatars of a higher self(s), and that we can create our own character sheet like in game, with special abilities, strengths weaknesses etc, and that we can consciously chose to modify our character and 'level up' and collect 'power ups' and uphold each others highest vision of ourselves. It's a powerful tool for transformational change and I think it's awesome.
I've no idea how this connects to the bitshares issues as I didn't read that part but I wanted to join in with the interesting stuff :p
