Someone here

You're epistemological nihilist bro. Ofcourse there are dozens of assumptions here. But I can't go prove to you every single one of them. You just gotta take some stuff superficially as they appear to be. Nothing suggests that rock hears or sees because it got no ears and eyes. If you claim otherwise you gotta prove it.

you mean in the sense that there cannot be atoms unless there is a consciousness of atoms? Haha thread closed. That's brilliant lol.

@Dodo when are you coming back to reality bro? ❤️

@Mvrs solipsism is a real bitch. I struggled with it a lot. But recently I came to realize honestly it doesn't matter. There is only me and my experience of the world anyways. What difference does it make whether others are dream characters or sentient beings? It won't change your experience in the slightest. And you still gotta deal with people as if they are real to survive. So pick that belief over solipsism. It's more pragmatic.

Either way there is only you and your mind. It doesn't matter really.

@The0Self it can't be said. Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.

For me it's non-symbolic. Can't really put it into words. But there comes those moments when you suddenly understand everything. In a moment everthing is revealed. And it can't be said. You know exactly that no matter how you describe it won't give it justice. You can spend hours trying to articulate it and tell others but you know it's pointless and it can't be described. So all you do is just smile and giggle at the impossibility of explaining what the heck was that. Know what I'm saying?

There is a truth right? I mean whatever is is.. right? Whatever is the truth about existence.. That truth exists right? Even if there are no truths.. That would be the truth right? The truth is inescapable as Leo said. He repeats that it's possible to access the absolute truth of reality directly.. Simply because that truth is all of reality so it's actually impossible to not access it. It's really very simple and logical. But most people overlook the obvious.

I have an idea. As I said it's not that there aren't proplems. It's just that I don't care about them since they are not affecting my life. Civilization collapse ain't gonna happen in my lifetime. That's all I care about. After I die.. Let the entire universe collapse.. Who cares?

This is pure ego and judgment. You are not any different than them. A Christian believes you go to hell because you are not a Christian. And you Beileve a Christian is stupid because he is Christian. Same shit. Well that's your own bullshit. Those religious people were indoctrinated into religious bullshit. And you were indoctrinated into this open-mindedness bullshit. The only reason you are open-minded and they aren't is because you were indoctrinated into open-mindedness. Nothing "stupid" about close-mindedness. It's just an environmental accident.

No you and them are identically full of shit. They don't believe weird illogical stuff.. It's only weird from your narrow pov. Consider that all beliefs are equally full of shit. What makes you think yours are any more "logical"? Logical according to whom? I bet that you don't even know what logical means. This is a big trap. You think that you are" better "than them because you are aware of your own bullshit unlike them they are completely lost in their "weird illogical beliefs". Actually no one believes anything. As funny and illogical that sounds. At least not 24/7 right? Lol ?.. When someone says I Believe in god.. He only Believes in God when he says it.. At the moment he doesn't say it the belief ceases to exist. Fun stuff eh?

Perfect. Do it then. Proplem solved?

Consider that you are not any less full of shit than them. In fact.. You are even more full of shit than them precisely because you think they are full of shit and you aren't. "The truth of the matter is that nobody knows jack shit about what's really going on. Nobody has the faintest idea. The best guesses are lies.. You can be sure of it" - Terence McKenna.

That's right. But as Leo said you are just pushing the ground of reality one step down. You didn't solve anything. If there is a computer behind the scenes running real life.. What is running the computer?.. Computers all the way down? Why can't just real life run itself then?

??

Sounds like a plan.

@Javfly33 I love this topic. everything already happened. happened in a moment.. But this moment lasts forever. That's the paradox. There is nothing but now and there will never be anything else. Everything exists now. The entire past is right now. The entire future is right now. Even people who lived 3000 years ago.. That time was now!!. Look at a rock. That rock contains within it the entire history of the universe. You can trace it back to endless causes in the past. All make up the rock right now. The now is made up from the past. And the past was nothing but now!

OK get rid of her From your life if you can.

a thought. Haven't you watched Leo's video? Whatever model you have of reality is a copy. It doesn't get you to the substance of what a thing is. Nothing will get you closer to knowing what the sun is than simply looking at it. And that's the whole point of mysticism. The sun is God. It's 100 % unknown and unknowable.

Mindfuck lol

@Leo Gura I guess one of the objections might be that you assume reality is an infinite Zoom and this substance proplem just keeps going forever.. Have you heard of planck's constants in physics? Basically they have a minimum limit for distance (and for other quantities like mass speed etc) where you can't zoom more than that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

Haha I know Leo's videos give you Serotonin guys lol Amazing vid @Leo Gura as always. You're on fire man. I really am interested to see how would a scientist respond to this. Especially the substance proplem.
