Truth Seeker

Here are some new core beliefs for me: 1. Live and help live, live and love. 2. Help all, harm none. 3. Life is worth living despite the negative aspe...

They have no significance. Even if they were true, we wouldn't know it. I found it interesting to think about these unlikely scenarios but that doesn'...

I think there is a world independent of my mind. There are also other human bodies and minds. We can form very accurate models of our environment usin...

I agree with you. There is no reasonable ground for solipsism.

My position has changed totally from what I said in my original post in this thread. By reading the replies I have become convinced that we can know s...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I agree that the movie is a work of fiction.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My primary desire is to make all organisms forever happy (including the dead ones and the never-born ones) but th...

Thank you for the link. What a fascinating article!

I agree.

Hindus believe their holy books are true. Just as Christians, Muslims and Jews believe their holy books to be true. Only the nonbelievers disbelieve t...

I love your core beliefs. They are much more helpful than mine. I am working on replacing my core beliefs with helpful ones. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your kind wishes and understanding.

I agree. Ever since I watched the movie "The Matrix" I have been troubled by how to tell what is real and what is not.

I agree.

I agree.

I agree that there are no reasonable grounds to think that I am in the Matrix. I also agree that there are no reasonable grounds to think that solipsi...

I am happy to view it with suspicion. I am almost 100% certain that solipsism is incorrect. However, in the one-in-infinity case that solipsism is cor...

I have no way to know that children, parents, the universe, the laws of physics, etc. are real. What if solipsism is true and I am the only being that...

I agree with you. What if everyone and everything is part of a bubble of solipsism?

Thank you for your reply and recommendation. What are your core beliefs? The reason I haven't taken my life is that would harm my family. I have a dut...

Thank you for your advice. You are lucky that you are not me and have not lived my life.

I don't know. I can't figure out the whole truth about reality. I wish all living things were all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful.

I am confused. I don't know. I wonder about solipsism. I can't prove or disprove it. I wonder about the Simulation Hypothesis. I can't prove or dispro...

I understood the point you made and I realised that it is true. That's why I agree with you.

I agree.

I agree.

Different people have left Bangladesh for different reasons. Some have left to have a better standard of living in another country. Some have left bec...

in 1999, I watched a movie called "The Matrix". Please see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093 Have you seen it? If you have not, I highly recommend ...

Thank you for your detailed reply. I agree with you. By "objective" I mean "external to minds". By "subjective" I mean "internal to minds". I totally ...

Thank you for explaining. I understand now. I agree.

I counted that there are two bananas in my fruit bowl. Is that an objective knowledge or a subjective sensory perception?

I am sorry, I don't understand what you said. Please clarify.

I agree.

I think we live in an objective world. That's why we can share our subjective thoughts using words. My subjective thoughts are being typed in this pos...

You are right.

You are assuming that what is subjective is imaginary or self-refuting. How would I know anything objectively?

I see the problem. Until someone knows that you have died (either by discovering your dead body or by hearing it from someone, etc.), they still think...

No, I am not claiming that. If you were to kill yourself tomorrow (I hope you don't), I wouldn't know about it unless I find your body or someone else...

https://ibb.co/MB9qBhL has a Venn diagram I have created to help convey what I mean.

I think that my claim is merely subjective. Just because it is subjective, does that necessarily mean that it's a belief? I see these words on the web...

It doesn't let me revise the poll question. I wanted to make it clearer. I don't think we can know anything objectively.

All of my sensory perceptions, thoughts, emotions, etc. are subjective. How can I possibly know anything objectively?

Yes, all of my sensory perceptions, thoughts, emotions, etc. are subjective. How can I possibly know anything objectively?

We can't know anything outside our subjective perceptions and understanding.

I agree.

It's written in their holy book. I don't agree with them. I think all religions are fiction made up by people.

Hinduism is more than 5,000 years old which makes it the oldest surviving religion on Earth. It has many Gods. Hindus believe that living things have ...

Thank you.
