And our perception of the present or future can possibly be distorted or wrong. I think I’m convinced about the reality of the PAST (not present or future)

To be alleviated from ones own mind, albeit the material remains, existence becomes meaningless if its not idealized-thus, as you rightfully implied, Descartes was hinting a void. He is both right and wrong-as you stated, there are levels of consciousness, yet if existence cannot define itself through perception, quintessentially, it remains a mere void. In this regard, a pragmatic approach must be rendered to encapsulate the axiology of what is. The implication of Descartes “cogito ergo sum”, I believe, suggests existence acknowledging itself.

The same way that by observing another individual we know that we cannot be that said individual..The subject that perceives cannot be the object that is being perceived..

Subjectivism, indeed has its place.

As an alternative to Quantum Theory there is a new theory that describes and explains the mysteries of physical reality. While not disrespecting the value of Quantum Mechanics as a tool to explain the role of quanta in our universe. This theory states that there is also a classical explanation for the paradoxes such as EPR and the Wave-Particle Duality. The Theory is called the Theory of Super Relativity. This theory is a philosophical attempt to reconnect the physical universe to realism and deterministic concepts. It explains the mysterious.
