so again, why bother living? You’re not really answering.

That's what was meant, if we don't genuinely feel anything, if we're just controlled by society then why bother living.

it’s funny you should use the matrix as that movie had nothing to do with real reality, it was pretty much about transgender people and transitioning....

that says already explained how they are not genuine , supposedly. The question is why go on if they’re not.

yeah. It’s either something you believe or don’t. That’s about it.

That's not really answering the question of what's the point in going on if nothing you feel is genuine.

If you don't have anything intelligent to say please don't bother commenting. I stopped taking it seriously once Jesus and God factored into it. You o...

Well no, if solipsism were true there would be no reason to connect with people because there would be no other people.

that doesn't make any sense. I'm saying if nothing we feel is truly genuine then what's the point of living? Your life is essentially a lie.

Well if nothing we feel is genuine then why bother living?

And that's the problem.

This is more like denying reality though. You don't genuinely feel anything so those emotions are more or less a lie.

Being under any sort of influence automatically makes it disingenuous as the original quote I cited said.

Alleged Buddhism expert since I have asked other Buddhism people and they say she's wrong. But that quote from the Tao Te is more about just letting t...

Advertisement doesn't work on me so...

more like you don't understand what solipsism is and likely are making it out to be more than that.

That's not even close. It's literally what it says on the box, nothing else. That you are the only thing that exists, or only person. Other forms say ...

I appreciate the thought. It’s given me some to ponder on. I’m getting a sense of how my mind works and how I seem to judge things. A lot of the metri...

Any way to make it stop?

It’s actually debilitating because my metric for what’s true has nothing to do with content or utility and everything to do with ego. It’s the only re...

It’s a long standing issue I have where I can’t disagree with something someone says because I don’t have an alternative to what it could be, either t...

Every time I email him in response to it his replies don’t really explain it: If his goal is to say we are more than that he failed quite miserably at...

Oh? I guess that makes sense. Personally though even though I know it's mistaken or nonsense I can't let it go because it feels like denying the truth...

I mean that's what my instincts thought when I read it, usually trying to mix science with spiritualism and philosophy turns out badly, and I knew eno...

That's not actually what it was about...

Well judging from his reply to me I don't think even he really knows what he's talking about, not truly from everyone else I've asked about this: This...

I think the "new age wisdom" part detracts from his point rather than enables it. Just because new age wisdom thinks so doesn't make it true, and I ag...

I mean in a way that can be understood. 5 dollar words made that unintelligible.

English?

It's not me saying that I'm just asking if that view is valid. I personally am leaning towards no, because if there's one thing I've learned is that e...

Nope. It’s impossible because there is no way to get outside of your perception. Ironically getting outside your perception would disprove it immediat...

There is no other angle. Sometimes people trying to make a distinction can't see the forest for the trees. Like when you break it down there is no dis...

I don't see what there is to be confused about. There is no real difference between metaphysical or epistemological solipsism, it's just splitting hai...

I don't it just honestly sounds like splitting hairs to be honest since it's not knowing if there is anything else but you. Though that would raise th...

Yeah but that's not what we're talking about.

Seems like same thing as far as solipsism goes.

They can’t. You can’t refute god, simulation, etc, or anything metaphysical really. There’s no way to really test it, just like you can’t prove solips...

Except you can’t be sure of the existence of your own mind. Hence another argument based on nonsense. Wrong again bud. Can’t be sure of anything just ...

how is it moot, the guy tried to prove solipsism.

I still want to know about my orignal post though

Well the Video I linked to aruges how you can't even know if you're thikning or if there is a you. SO while it appears to be skepticism it's really ju...

Not making and checking unfounded (which is already a red flag as what is considered unfounded is debatable) assumptions while in the process using un...

It's actually skepticism's greatest failure, since in trying to winnow it down to what can be known for certain ends up making a TON of other assumpti...

Not true, those facts don’t matter philosophically, it’s all in the present and all these things are happening outside your mind as you’re taking thin...

That doesn’t even follow… Like I said, pro solipsism arguments are nonsense.

That and this reply under it:

There's no reason to take it seriously. Unless they can demonstrate said alternate reality it's junk. Even then it wouldn't make this less real. You'd...

simulation hypothesis doesn’t cause us to question what is real. It’s an assertion with nothing to prove it, ergo junk. Plus unless you can show a cle...

I don’t I’m well aware of his position and how he’s wrong given modern science discoveries. There is a reason idealism fell out, part of it being that...

Faulty premises. Also the word illusion is doing a lot of heavy lifting as the only way illusion holds any sort of weight is if you know what’s realit...
