I agree.

I live in the U.K. currently but I was born in Bangladesh. I have read the book "Brave New World" and I don't have the time to watch the movie but tha...

It's possible I have misunderstood the Hindu concept of Maya which means illusion. I am not an expert on Hinduism. I only know what I have read about ...

That's interesting. Time will tell. Thank you for telling me about it.

Thank you very much for sharing your childhood illusions with us. I didn't have any of your illusions. I was kidnapped when I was four years and five ...

You are right. I am not a professional philosopher. I am not even studying philosophy.

I see your point. The above tips on How to Live a Fulfilling Life is free for all so the author is not making any money from it. It's written anonymou...

I am just going by what I have observed. 99.9% of all the species to evolve so far on Earth are already extinct. The world is full of omnivores, carni...

The universe of Star Trek is a positive one but it is fiction. I try hard to keep my personal ecological footprint low. Are you talking about New Age ...

Might is right. Adapt or die. This is how the real world works. I wish we lived in a nice world where every living thing is forever happy but we don't...

I didn't know things were so bad. What is the solution?

I don't know the answer to your question. I agree that religions and political ideologies (e.g. communism, capitalism, socialism, etc.) are opinions.

I agree that we also go to war over resources e.g. land, oil, etc.

That too, happens.

We don't have the means to test the simulation hypothesis.

I agree with you. When I said I was thinking of things such as religions and politics. We have murdered a lot of people over the last five thousand ye...

I agree with you.

I understand that you enjoy the taste of meat. Most people do. We evolved as omnivores. I am pleased that you see how going vegan would help the envir...

I agree. The rich need to downgrade their high-ecological-impact lifestyle into a sustainable lifestyle. All humans going vegan would help.

I agree. This is one of the reasons I want all humans to go vegan. Going vegan would reduce our ecological impact.

Hypothetical talks are interesting even though they are not philosophical statements. I am a big fan of science fiction.

Ok, thank you.

I am talking hypothetically. We don't have any way to test the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. I am not a physicist but I have read b...

No apology is needed for your delayed reply. I think it is extremely unlikely that we are living in a simulation. I agree that there is no logical, em...

I know quantum mechanics has macroscopic consequences. I prefer actual experiments to thought experiments as you get actual data from actual experimen...

Overpopulation is a myth. The Earth is not overpopulated with humans - only our cities are. What we need to do is redistribute people evenly. Please s...

We should be cooperating over climate change and to a limited degree we are. We need to do much more but our selfishness and short-termism are getting...

I haven't heard this before - the way you are defining the self is awesome!

What do you think will ensure global cooperation instead of global annihilation?

Yay! Something to celebrate!

You are right.

I agree with you. Our suffering and enjoyment are certainly real. What I am not 100% certain about is the nature of reality. There are five possibilit...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.

You and I and other minds could be plugged into an illusion of being in human bodies on Earth. Solipsism is not the only possibility.

I am ok with accepting ambiguity.

I only know about my brain through my sensory perceptions which are part of my mind. My brain, my body, the Earth, the Universe - they all could be re...

Good idea!

How can we know anything that is mind-independent? I am looking at the computer screen and I can only do this because my brain generates a model of re...

I agree. Thank you.

I agree. Thank you.

I have changed a lot over the years as a result of my experiences and change hasn't stopped. I am always learning and growing. It's part of being huma...

Yes, English is my second language. It took a lot of time and effort for me to learn it. I certainly found it satisfying. I agree that things that com...

I hope you are right. I have been stuck in depression for a long time. I am not going to go into all the gory details of the last 42 years as I don't ...

I see your point. Games are certainly more enjoyable to watch if it's a close call. It keeps us on edge, trying to guess who will win.

I disagree. I do appreciate things I don't work for. I appreciate oxygen, sunlight and gravity even though I don't work for any of these things that a...

Thank you. I agree.

I see. I despair.

What about religious terrorists who kill people who don't share their beliefs? I agree that we do go to war over all the things you mentioned. I tried...
