Acknowledging the paradoxical nature of your assertion is vital.
At 8:55 you state, “The fact that it (everything) is happening is all there is.”
This is intrinsically paradoxical. And I would like you to acknowledge the paradox. The general logic of your argument is sound, however the paradox is (always) where the crack is.
The assertion that everything exists without consciousness (simplistically speaking, a knower) makes everything unknowable, by definition, and it is intellectually dishonest, therefore, to speak of epistemology in any sense – including speaking of mechanism/determinism.
You want to have your cake (deconstructionism) and eat it too (mechanism).
Duality is a fiercely jealous mistress. And you fancy yourself free of her, (yet assert isness).
The old Zen Koan in this regard is: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
NOTE: for those who suppose this line of inquiry is non-relational to “Over The Peak”, on the contrary, our state of consciousness is precisely why we are in the mess that we are in.
