If the parameters of consciousness were slightly different then some final metaphysical truths would be discoverable. Isn't there, in other words, a sort of analogy of the so-called anthropic principle that applies to consciousness, a sort of ontological principle? If the purpose of consciousness is for being to awaken to itself wouldn't it be fine-tuned in such a way as allow this possibility in terms of the possibility of unlimited clarity and penetration and the impossibility of stopping short, of ever coming to the final end and truth of anything finite?
