Here's another way to prove it. I say: 1. There is one me. 2. You are not me. 3. Me only makes statements by numbers. You say: A. There is one me. B. ...

That's a good question, and I don't know. It's just how it is I guess. I don't attempt to answer why everything, including me, exist at all, or why th...

Also, if something cannot be related to you in a world, there would be absolutely no difference between that thing existing or not existing from your ...

The reason is because FPP is just a reference point. A better word for observing would be "relating". If two things cannot be related to one another i...

Great. Then we agree on 16. So you say. E. In a world, an FPP cannot view something. F. In a world, an FPP cannot view another distinct FPP. I say 24....

Ok, so you say A. In a world, me is one of FPPs. B. In a world, there are multiple FPPs that are distinct. C. In a world, FPPs and TPPs are the same. ...

13. follows from 10. Given that in a world there is only one FPP, if there are multiple FPPs in that world, then they are all the same FPP. That's ok,...

Empire building by itself is not a problem I think. Many would agree that living in the Roman Empire was more prosperous than living in some germanic ...

People group into larger organisation when they can derive some benefit from it. The benefit of cooperation must be greater than the benefit of defect...

Please tell me the line number that is incorrect. FPP: first person perspective TPP: third person perspective 1. A world includes everything there is....
April 29, 2020 at 15:28
This does not explain how one of the subjective worlds becomes me. You say there's a world with multiple TPPs. Where does the FPP come in? Things can ...
April 29, 2020 at 10:38
Okay, take 3. There is nothing unique about an objective world. There are things in it. Now add subjectivity. Still nothing unique, many subjective ex...

there has to be some order, otherwise there would be pure random chaos or noise. The order comes from the force field of want, just like electro-magne...

That's not very constructive.
April 27, 2020 at 22:16
Yes, so you are the first person perspective. The other perspectives are not you. That's ok, the only requirement is that the information must exist s...
April 27, 2020 at 22:16
Ok let's take a step back. I'll try to derive the argument from your point of view. Do you agree that things exist? Do you agree that you are and have...
April 27, 2020 at 19:34
It is not possible. In the previous example about A,B,C, you'd be ignoring the observer, "yourself", typing out your reply on this forum. But in fact,...
April 27, 2020 at 14:21
don't worry, it's nothing personal
April 27, 2020 at 13:22
The contradiction in your argument comes from the fact that you regard the world as a collection of distinct entities, and while doing so, you assume ...

The "you" must be part of the universe, because the universe includes everything Agree. Exactly. By person, do you mean the limbs, the body, the thoug...
April 27, 2020 at 10:41
yes there is. The universe can be completely identical in every way, except for the "you". Let's assume you know the following: A, B and C exist. In s...
April 27, 2020 at 00:47
Sorry, you are right. I'm saying we have two subjective experiences (not perspectives), so the single perspective tells me which one is going to be mi...
April 26, 2020 at 14:58
Why is "mine" a thing in the world? Because I can tell the difference between my perspective and yours. Right now, I'm Joe, I am not Jean or Micheal. ...
April 26, 2020 at 13:00
Objectively, how do you know that whenever you feel the feeling of pain, that means "do not do that". I get that from an evolutionary point of view, i...
November 25, 2018 at 04:08
Here's forward version. It's the same. I eat. why? to have energy. why? to do work. why? to get target. why? to move forward. why? to buy a house. why...
November 18, 2018 at 17:28
Ok, so if not tautology, what does this mean? Who decided that pain is something to avoid? Why can't the feeling of pain be neutral or maybe something...
November 18, 2018 at 16:32
yeah, so now we're back to evolution, which is back to big bang and God. See my original post. move forward to where? I like the phrase "forward", eve...
November 18, 2018 at 16:26
You want to avoid pain, because that's what pain feels like. This sounds like you want to avoid pain because of pain. What decided what is painful and...
November 17, 2018 at 15:52
There is no rational justification to why I should preserve my pedal digits. Yes, I want to survive and avoid pain, but I don't know why that is. ok, ...
