you cannot prove whether or not reality is only taking place in the mind, and further I'd wager that it isn't. Thought and an individual's reality are...

no... because there is a difference between you as an individual entity, and the experience you are having. They are two different things.
July 23, 2020 at 23:47
sure it can, because not only does it cover the self, it also extends to anything experienced by the self, and to the reader it prosed the question of...

I dont think it does negate our reality. I think it proves the experience of the self, affirming that one can be sure of one's existence on the preten...

doesnt matter where they originate, they are experienced regardless
July 14, 2020 at 13:51
your reality would be from the perspective of a brain... in a vat. Aha
July 12, 2020 at 19:00
this doesnt prove that it went to far. You have only proven the Cogito to be true. As for the necessity of my proposal, it is to shed light unto the c...

you're misconstruing the difference between my reality (the one I am experiencing, which is tangible in so far as I am capable of experiencing it) and...
July 12, 2020 at 18:48
yeah I think that's basically what I'm attempting to say
July 12, 2020 at 18:44
you are presenting a connotation of the original text, not refuting mine.
July 12, 2020 at 18:24
no... I think therefore my reality exists
July 11, 2020 at 19:32
right I changed it from only to cover multi dimension and singularity
July 11, 2020 at 17:52
My angle here is to prove that the reality we experience is tangible. Because I know I exist, I can also conclude that the experience I am having is a...
July 11, 2020 at 17:51
On these pretenses it has to ring true because you are experiencing the exact experience as you.
July 11, 2020 at 17:45
but whether or not a person's perspective of reality is fully true doesn't matter. Regardless it is their experience and interpretation of reality. Th...

To me the question of "how do we resolve the human condition?" is just the same as asking any other question, perhaps "why is the sky blue?" but the a...

And I do believe that while I may not find the end all suffering answer, I do have the potential to find pieces of that answer, so I will keep trying....
July 06, 2020 at 13:59
I needed to be reminded that I will likely fail the task of solving the human condition, and I need to accept that while I work on the task and try to...

July 05, 2020 at 17:34
I don't feel like the majority of people are only in it for themselves, but perhaps people have already had this conversation with themselves, and cho...

So if we are reaching for this goal that seems so far fetched, an equilibrium in growth and sustainability, but it is so distant it almost seems impos...

Philosophy does not equal morality.
May 17, 2020 at 05:11
basically any recorded definition of meaning fits the parameters of my expressions here. I enjoyed reading your writing, thank you.

What is the alternative? Nothingness? That sounds incredibly boring to me. I'll go with living even though it's sometimes regurgitated ass scabs. Stil...

Equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are never fully congruent and this is why "democracy" (if you can even call it that anymore) and capit...

Or hell buy the arr and give me back the word vomit. Make your own meanings regardless of mine. If you can't do that then why are you buying art?
February 08, 2020 at 15:15
If you don't want my word vomit to go with my physical vomit then don't buy it and move along.
February 08, 2020 at 15:13
I like to include insight with art because I am also a writer. Often times the words that go with the piece are completely unrelated. I don't care.
February 08, 2020 at 15:11
Well I didn't say it's complete or organized, and I didn't say books aren't valuable, but to dismiss the sheer volume of information on the internet w...

And call me what you want, but I'm not bringing a kid into this fucked up environmental catastrophe. Seems incredibly irresponsible.
January 21, 2020 at 14:16
Education for the masses on when and when not to populate responsibly. Really simple. I'm done explaining common sense.
January 21, 2020 at 14:09
you still fail. Where did I say to implement policy in this regards?
January 21, 2020 at 14:02
excuse me, I was referring to we - the consumers - who are responsible for the warming of the earth. And you and many like you are propagating the iss...
January 21, 2020 at 03:50
you fail to recognize several things. I never said that only the poor shouldn't populate. This is absolutely absurd to assume. The majority of polluti...
January 21, 2020 at 03:37
it's pretty simple... we have many billions of people and the number is growing exponentially at an accelerated and unsustainable rate.

If we all take as little as possible and then start to give back then what have we accomplished? Incredible feats of which humanity is more than capab...

Food, shelter, water, clothing, and maybe a smart phone. These are needs.

I am addicted too this is why the market is so successful. They have taken advantage of our dependencies. We must be stronger than our addictions to t...

No sir that is not who I am. I am an activist and philosopher, not an engineer. I am not asking what should be done, but what should *I do?
January 06, 2020 at 17:59
what should I do?
January 06, 2020 at 04:53
If the jobs disappear switch to farming
January 05, 2020 at 20:20
Do not buy things you dont need. Tell everyone.
January 05, 2020 at 20:19
We have to cease overconsumption. It is the only resolution. We must educate the masses.

People like to say "well it will happen regardless of our involvement" but they always say this on the pretenses of conspiracy or inconclusive data. I...
