Do a thought experiment and imagine a Universe where there is no Intelligence: nothing to perceive the physical processes, nothing to record them, no narrative of the passage of time, no histories, no sciences; there is merely the "stuff" of Science if Intelligence were ever to exist.
Is such a Universe possible? Would Matter exist in that way without Mind or Intelligence?
The answer is actually No, it does not nor would not exist in such a way.
The Thought Experiment of a Material Universe without Mind is itself an element of the Universe that has Mind. The Universe without Intelligence is part now - since we have just made the thought experiment! - of our history of Intelligence. And Universe without Narrative is obviously part of the Universe of Narration.
In other words, the "Material Universe Without Mind" is a concept that cannot be conceptualized, else it disappears.
