> But if that's the case, your thoughts aren't about reality; they're just a result of reality, a result of whatever state you happen to be in.
According to my premises (materialism being the key one), thoughts are the result of the combination of (a) what happened before and (b) the laws of the universe.
So thoughts can be both: (1) a causal result (previous paragraph) and (2) _about_ reality, from the point of view of one's consciousness.

Any disagreement here?
