weird (adj.)
c. 1400,
• "having power to control fate", from wierd (n.), from Old English wyrd "fate, chance, fortune; destiny; the Fates," literally "that which comes,"
• from Proto-Germanic wurthiz (cognates: Old Saxon wurd, Old High German wurt "fate," Old Norse urðr "fate, one of the three Norns"),
• from PIE wert- "to turn, to wind," (cognates: German werden, Old English weorðan "to become"),
• from root wer- (3) "to turn, bend" (see versus).
• For sense development from "turning" to "becoming," compare phrase turn into "become."

Oh... this one seems more logical than to say mind is king. Maybe mind is a puppet king. Even if experience is mental activity, it doesn't necessitate mental governance. That is an additional assumption.

The agency points at *subjective ideation* and that is not necessarily dependent on the mind.
Where's the line from solipsism and mental subjective idealism in the description?

This seems like a bit of a reduction, what difference are you pointing to that "simply mental activity" is not the same thing as "mind" itself?

Hmmmmm...

The problem with SI is it is in many ways quite simple and once you've got it there's not a ton to talk about, but there is a lifetime of work in taking that intellectual realization and making it more than just a shallow intellectual realization.
That's one perspective anyway
