And is masturbation helping you tackle the depression or does it make it worse ? Do you watch porn while doing it ? Can you get hard just using your imagination and the physical sensation of touching your dick ?

Don't get me wrong .. I fap too..So I'm not looking down at you .But I Do believe that every guy at some point of his life should seriously consider quitting wanking their dicks . By all means ..Go enjoy it .But hurry up and learn the lesson quickly I take antidepressant too. Prozac and Invega. What do you take ?and why? Yeah no shit sherlock. Snorting Cocaine will also make you happy . Just think about it .

@LSD-Rumi Imo Masturbation has its time in one's lifetime and its the age if puberty with the explosion of hormones that happen during that age . But as you get past 20 years old..your testosterone stabilises and you are not horny anymore or popping random boners. So I think you should save those balls for real sex .

I'm not fine . I'm interested in philosophy. I want to become just like Leo. Start my own business or YT channel and ramble about metaphysical woo-woo. I work at Starbucks. It's a wage slave job. It makes ends meet but I want something more joyful and creative . Like art ..music..philosophy etc

The only thing I'm interested in is philosophy and science.

Yes . So what? I'm bisexual .

Why ? From which country are you?

How old are you now ?(If you don't mind me asking ).

@Yimpa you still haven't told me what are you high on ?

I honestly couldn't understand a single thing. Would you try to put it in a different way ?

Actually it doesn't . Since it's infinite..it contains within itself All finitude. Is your body finite or infinite ?

I agree ?. Thanks

You misunderstood infinity. Infinity simply means its not fixed . So your direct experience right now is Infinite in the sense that you cannot find a beginning or ending to your field of consciousness . "Sound " and "explosion " are qualia .by definition consciousness stuff . Im not saying it cannot happen outside of Consciousness .but it can happen outside of YOUR limited consciousness. There is a difference between your consciousness and universal consciousness.

It's not. How do I know ?simply Because It doesn't feel right. Its insanity. And I have no interest in losing my mind. It doesn't resonate. Moreover its just a thought in your mind .

A pointer for what? You equate existence with being perceived. Do you perceive your blood flow ? Do you perceive your digestive system digesting food ?no right? Then why do you believe they exist if reality is one layer deep?

I know that there is no edge to the universe because its Infinite. But I used that expression just for the sake of simplicity and for argument sake. I'm not saying you can get past consciousness..I'm saying whether or not there is stuff happening outside of my consciousness is unsure . Yes i agree .so stuff can happen outside of your consciousness. But stuff cannot happen outside of Consciousness . That is to say a tree can fall but it won't make a sound unless there is a consciousness observing it .not necessarily your consciousness .but certainly there must be consciousness observing it .because that's the whole definition of what a "sound " is .it's a phenomenon occurring within consciousness or qualia. I think there is a difference between perception and consciousness . Perception doesn't even exist .because it assumes a perceived and and a perceiver. A subject and object .and that's duality .which is not actually found in direct experience. Consciousness on the other hand is self-evident . Again if you don't see colors that means they cease to exist within your consciousness. But they don't cease to exist from existence completely. I will say it again .just because you have no access to other consciousnesses does not mean they don't exist . You wouldn't be having this conversation with another human being if you truly believed there are no other conscious agents in the universe but you .

I hear you. Abstract concepts like ‘the self’ clearly don’t exist in the way that material objects like the Eiffel Tower exist..but presumably you’re not in any danger of thinking they do. They are linguistic shortcuts which allow us to talk conveniently about groups of objects or phenomena which would otherwise have to be described at length every time we wanted to refer to them. So without a sense of " I" you wouldn't know who's shoes to wear in the morning lol. Epistemological Solipsism claims that you definitely exist even as an idea .but other minds not . So you are the only certain thing in existence. Others are impossible to know since they are impossible to access.

It's not . I can move back and forth in it . I'm not talking about some parallel plane . The more fundamental questions you should be asking include: Do minds exist at all? Let alone multiple minds. If they do exist. what are they? How can one identify a mind? If they do not exist. .what are we?

If a supernova explosion happens in the edge of the universe..and no one observed it ..can we say it happend ? If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one to hear it..does it make a sound? The problem with these kinds of questions is the assumption that what is not directly perceived via consciousness doesn't exist . But that's just an assumption. The honest opinion is we don't know .and that's what Epistemological Solipsism claims .it doesn't say definitely there is nothing outside of your consciousness .but your own consciousness is the only certain thing you know .that's indubitably true You just answered your question. It either exists or it doesn't. Being perceived or not has nothing to do with its existence. Unless you equate existence and perception. Which you should provide evidence for. Same answe as above . Yeah I'm not.

Thanks brother.

That’s the point ..you actually don't know that . You know your own mind exist .but you don't know if other minds exist. It seems convenient to assume other minds don't exist because you can't experience them. But that in itself doesn't mean they don't exist .it just means you have no access to them..and they will forever remain a mystery. Nothing more .nothing less . How would you experience every POV and still call it one POV? Either there is only one POV or there are 8 billion POVs. What seems likely more true is that there are 8 billion POVs. Again you don't even know if the characters in a nightly dream are real or have mind of their own. So how much of an unjustified Epistemological jump to assume that other minds don't exist? The truth with all honesty is that you don't know. So as i I agree.

Until you reach the state of mind and the realization that everything is unconditional love..that everything Is for the highest good ..you ain't awake . If you still believe there is something wrong somewhere and it needs fixing..then you are not awake . Do you want to become awake ? I will give you the most direct clear-cut method : Inspect all your: beliefs..ideas..concepts..thoughts..wishes ..projections etc until you realize that all of them are utterly rubbish and bullshit . Until all you're left with is your bubble of consciousness . The enlightened one (the Buddha is the sanskrit word for that) literally does not believe in nonsense. And since Al beliefs are nonsense. .therefore the enlightened one doesn't believe in anything .exactly like a child .the child doesn't believe in anything more than his direct experience. But as we grow up..society brainwashes us with tons of ideologies and beliefs until we totally lose clarity of what is true and what is falsehood. Therefore all you need to do is to empty your cup. Drop all your thoughts and beliefs .until only the truth remains. And you can’t ask someone else to verify for you if you're awake. Because then it becomes more beliefs and projecting your authority and sovereignty outside of yourself . You are the ultimate authority in the entire fucking universe.

This .

Bro..you are overcomplicating this stuff ..don't tell me you walk around the house unable to tell the difference between you and your mom.. You are the body-mind appearance that you appear to be .it's not fixed but it's not completely malleable at the same time . This is not a belief. A belief is something which is taken on pure faith and conjecture without evidence backing it up. The fact that i exist as a human being and other people also exist ..is NOT a baseless belief. Its a fact . Stuff is moving .the clock is ticking ."time " is the label we give to this constant movement of reality.

I don't believe in others . I experience others . Through my own consciousness of course. Nothing can exist unless it's held inside my consciousness. So literally..life and death ..past and future ..tomorrow and yesterday..you and others..enlightenment and ignorance..the idea that you have to let go of All that. Wtf r u talkin bout?
