Someone here

@Akos thank you

@wwhy why is rape wrong objectively?

@This No. You could be raped and 'let it it happen' and it would still be rape.. The only difference in this case is you internally don't resist it because you actually have a desire to be raped (you basically like it). In that case.. Would rape still be wrong and should be stopped by an outsider?

@This and what if you DO want to get raped and you enjoy it (masochistic)? Will rape stop being wrong in that case? Does it that mean it's not always wrong? ?

Why is rape the example and not infinitely more things that happen every minute and I could intervene? And why is rape wrong or false or bad or evil or whatever (because that's why you bring it)? Let's just start here.

@Reciprocality Let's compare science and philosophy. If we think that characteristically philosophical knowledge is a priori... then this will tell us a lot about the differences between science and philosophy. Here’s a summary of a way we could draw the contrasts: Science is about empirical knowledge.. philosophy is also a priori knowledge (if it exists). Science is about contingent facts... philosophy is also about necessary truths (if they exist). Science is about descriptive facts.. philosophy is also about normative truths (if they exist). Science is about physical objects; philosophy is also about abstract objects (if they exist).((like God)).. For these reasons it's considered futility to discuss philosophy by modern epistemologists because it seems unprovable whereas science is all about empirical verification.

@Akos what's the benefit of this info?

@Meditationdude what is a self actualized person in your opinion? A drug head?

Obviously and evidently you can overcome any addiction with enough discipline and willpower. But needless to say it's difficult and hardly possible to quit drugs and substances like what you mentioned. So possible to get over but extremely difficult. Which is why you get addicted to them in the first place. Better to not get addicted to anything to begin with. A self actualized person is definitely addiction free. Stoics are wise people. Don't get used to live in comfort. That's hedonism. and it is a trap.

@The Buddha I agree with you and that's basically what I said in the end of my previous comment... "it all falls short to me".. Life is the house of illusion.. of narcissism.. of love. If you can't submit to that.. and if you're not efficient enough.. you're gonna get kicked out soon. Life cares.. but death doesn't. Life wants you to spread delusion.. to spread love. It's all fine. Maybe you don't belong here. Maybe you're already dead. Who knows? Life is also the house of duality. of balance... of opposites. You can't just go and live in the extremes. Like this everything is love nonsense. You gotta always level down to where things are at. The more paradoxical and complicated you are.. the more blessed you'll be. Life worships complexity and it walks over simplicity. Deny that and see. You will die.

It's not that science is true. It's that the science method is easier to empirically verify. And do you want to buy into the verification paradigm? Then only accept facts that are empirically verifiable. Whether it comes from science or spirituality or even religion.

@Dazgwny @Inliytened1 @Leo Gura Whatever. I honestly don't know.

@Inliytened1 I do genuinely think that solipsism is nonsense. If you are aware others are your imagination (not independently aware) what's the point of talking to them? Would you talk to a door?

A solipsist talking with 'others' is fooling himself and others.

@The Buddha Some consider it to have been present in the world from the beginning as the work of evil forces. Some believe it is part of God's creation which may have a purpose that humans cannot understand. Some consider it to be the outcome of ignorance and to have no beginning. Most religions teach that moral evil should be opposed. Attempts should be made to minimise the impact of natural evil. Most people experience suffering at some time in their life. Religions attempt to explain suffering, help people to cope with it and learn from it. For some religious people, the fact that people suffer can raise difficult questions about why God allows this to happen. Some people say that God allows humans to make decisions for themselves and that suffering is caused by the choices that people make. To me.. All that fails short

Note : I'm hoping for a nuanced discussion. Don't keep your opinions for yourself if you think they are controversial. I like controversy. So there might be no pure way to define sanity or insanity along a scientific and objective perspective with a philosophic and logical rigor? But I digress.. I feel as though a definition can be as good as we can come up with one for a specific phenomenon or state. Let's consider this.. The Spectrum of Sanity.. I am unsure exactly what might clinically or legally define sanity.. but from a layperson's whimsical musings I feel as though sanity is the state of collaboration between the conscience and consciousness work together to form a solid basis for reasonable interaction with the known world as best perceived to be real (even if moments or episodes of surreal distortion or delusion interfere with the perceptibly of a truer and objectively reality through one's perceptions). Sanity is the most lucid and objective outlook and introspective look at one's conscious state upon the world and the actual reality that exists beyond any and all illusions discernible to that individual. If an individual is less able to discern a truer objective glimpse of reality from their highly influenced and more subjective glances and interpretations of reality... then they might be defined as less than sane. So.. sanity is definitively a spectrum of conscious awareness of a truer reality than that of distortion and influence of the subjective experience. Complete Sanity/Insanity No one individual can necessarily become truly and absolutely fully objectively sane nor insane because to do so would need to either completely abscond from experience any normal sensory function.. cognitive function.. and the like whatsoever while also maintaining a true conscious trying to make sense of their distorted reality. That means sanity and insanity are relative notions. And no one person is fully sane or insane. What do you think?

Me and Leo.

This is known as the problem of evil in theology. Evil is a cause of human suffering. There are two types of evil: moral evil - the acts of humans which are considered to be morally wrong natural evil - natural disasters.. such as earthquakes or tsunamis. While religious people justify moral evil as a result of choice and God giving humans free will and put them into 'test' because of the original sin. From an atheist pov.. There is no God. There never was. And evil is simply our human misunderstanding of natural phenomenon.

How do you know?

A person in a coma is not conscious (per se) and a being that is psychotic is not fully psychotic as they are making sense within their reality that is partially influenced by a truer reality. So.. to be completely insane seems impossible while complete sanity seems impossible as well. A completely sane person would have to be completely objective about reality.. know its complete and true nature.. and yet remain conscious and such. Maybe only a supreme being or entity or the universe itself can actually be considered "sane" in and of itself. So.. sanity is a spectrum whereby you are willingly or unwillingly ascribed to varying degrees of it through the careful calculations of your interactions with the world through both nurture and nature and the reliance upon whether any or some or most or all of your actions of will are truly free or determinate to one degree or another.

And that's according to whom?

?

You should say there are no separate things... Or things lack inherent independent existence etc .. Otherwise this confuses a lot of people.

In the morning. Chest and fast breath. 5.

The deeper problem whether others are real or its just me imo is why I am this particular human body? Why I experiencing reality through this particular avatar at this particular moment?
