I didn't use the example of color to support a worldview that "consciousness is ontologically fundamental." I used it to illustrate that your position that there is an objective aesthetic assessment, which is even more arbitrary than perception of color, is patently wrong. It follows that accidental nature of advent of life is not intrinsically tragicomic. As I said in the beginning of this conversation, all one can say objectively about life is that it is.

And just as a side note on accidentality -- because advent of life followed the same physical rules that shaped and still shape the whole universe / nature, it was actually not accidental at all. It was merely highly improbable but perfectly natural. If this was not the case you should be able to point out where physics (and subsequently chemistry, biology, etc.) deviated from already established natural laws when life emerged. If you would be able to to find such a case, you would basically prove supernatural origin of life :D

Quite a pretzel you turned yourself into ;)
