Eliminating the objective physical state called existence we also eliminate the subjective private state called consciousness. Because if there isn't a shared purely objective state of being then there is no longer anything a subjective conscious state that could be a private version of. The shared objective state of visibility enabled in physical space entails the private subjective state of perspective. And inversely, when the inherent solipsism of the conscious subject disappears, so does the inherent independence and otherness of the objectively real. One closure only ever logically enabling the other.
We would not be capable of conceiving the dual nature of objective and subjective being, of objective events everyone knows about and subjective events only you know about, were we not actively enacting these states in our daily lives. We thus always experience the difference between shared knowing and private knowing, one turning into the other, thru language itself. It's how our lives can go from being auto-biographical stories to biographical stories, the same experiences only we knew about suddenly being now shared and publically known experiences. Publication and privatization two extremes on the same spectrum of knowing being.
