I have one question. It may not be a good question. There is problem zero value in it. And I'm probably a retard to asking it.
If there was only one conscious being, and nothing else existed. Would said being be able to determine what is ethical?

I guess that's the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself. Ten points if you can guess where that's from.

How could one (or rather, this theoretical single conscious being) know with certainty that nothing else existed, anyway?
Besides ethics are relative anyways.
Will I think it's more a discussion on the subjectiveness of what we consider ethics. They're just like Piety in Plato's Euthyphro. Who do we know for certain that our Ethics are Ethics at all? Second I'm also saying that the ethics any Conscious Being that just exists are totally arbitrary. We know what is ethically cause we have experience. Still "ethical" will totally be a personal experience and not really something that could be universal. What we do find is that a lot of our personal ethics overlap, and so mistake them for a universal ethic.
I'm not really concerned about epistemological or metaphysical questions of existence with this meditation. We simple need to be sure that the being exists, even now we cannot prove anything exists except for our conscious selfs anyways.
Well, since we can only authenticate ourselves we decide what is ethical. :D
