But I want to know the reason you attack solipism with such passion. It seems as if you got an objectivetly better position, which I assure you is not the case, at least not intelectually or linguistically. Because think about it, even if solipisism has faults other position is bound to have faults too because of -- assumptions as you were pointing above. But here you may claim that other positions have less assumptions than solipsism and therefore they are more accurate. But that is true only superficially, only if you haven't gone all the way. See it like this, any and everything anybody may say about reality I can just back to them "How do you know you are not assuming things?" And they may explain their postion once I question them, but then I question them again! And they explain again if they are well equipped, but guess what? More questions and problems to solve! And so I go on inquiring. Do you see where this is going? From an intellect point of view any position is equally bogus, because a person can always demand more and ask more questions, and if you don't know how to answer then one could always claim you are full of shit! And this is an inescapable problem, try as you might. All problems either "end" in infinite questioning and explanations or "I just know" circularity. The point is, your criticism seems really silly because you don't have a 100% better alternative to bring to the table. Not even a slight better one if you want to be really rigorous about it, because of the problems I said above.

@zurew Not trying to defend Solipisism or Leo per se, but here goes somethings I got while reading this discussion: How do you know what an assumption is? If we go by the logic that any which view has assumptions into it by simple virtue of the fact that your knowledge is not 100%(meaning you don't know all the content and all the structure that existed, exists and will exists, and more), then it seems silly to look for truth in philosophy or any system of thought. Because the questions will never actually be fully answered, because each asnwer brings about more and more questions -- like a hydra. I mean sure you can critic other positions and have doubt, but don't you see the sillyness of it? The other person can do the same to you infinetely, you will never will run short of explanation or arrive at the ultimate answer that will answer all questions possible. I think the genius of Buddha is exactly this, he didn't directly address metaphysical questions(he probably saw the whole stupidity of it if one is to attain nirvana) because it is indeed circular and you can makes a guess that this too is what he points samsara to be. The human mind is samsara, it runs in circles never getting satisfied and never actually being transformed. His whole effort was into transcending the mind, because the mind is indeed a hungry ghost. When mystics says reality is this, you can doubt, you can potentially find holes in it if you really want it, but I think trying to be as precise as possible and digging into their words is stupidity. Because it will never end and truly transform you like a mystical experience. But maybe you don't actually want that, if that's not what you want and you just want to explore thoughts forever then ignore this. My question for you is this, how do you know that your doubts about solipisism is true? Can you ever escape my questinoning into you from this point ownards, and if not what this might be point to?

We need divine porn. Who's gonna make it? Millions on the table for the visionary divine gooner

@Natasha Tori Maru Isn't the final and whole point of spirituality to realize that stake itself is bs?. Consciousness in cyberspace

Interesting video. Not saying is 100% accurate but a new perspective is always welcomed.

A zoomer was walking by the side of a village when he saw a buddhist monk talking to a shy hotie. Curious as he was, he approached the unusual situation to hear what the monk was saying. To his surpise, he found out that the monk was actually rizzing up the shy hotie. He caught note of him smiling like a player and saying " Say, shy hotie, do you want to meet the Flaming Wisdom that I got down there?" The zoomer surprised and energized with that was said "Broooooooooo, you are aura faaaaarmiiiiiing dawg, for real for real"

+1000 aura

@Carl-Richard Since it's you posting this, may I introduce you the synthesis of sex and enlightenment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drukpa_Kunley Imagine being enlightned and your life purpose becomes enlightnening woman through sex. Truly the pinnacle of male escort Bro's penis even got a name = "Thunderbolt of Flaming Wisdom" how badass is that wtf??? The true chad

Bro's so obese and lazy they can't fathom what a walking even means

Yeah, I guess this one is realy tricky. Cause you can't really define love or really explain it, so you can't really blame Leo here. You need first hand experience. Correct. But also incorrect, because God must be the sum total of all possible properties so, it's tricky.

@zurew In that case, Leo can just say that the agential God view of the person is absolutely wrong. And Leo's "version" is absolutely correct because it's non agential and absolute and therefore explains everything leaving no room for error.

Yoo @Leo Gura, this music was playing in public today while I was waiting in the queue Leo, the infinity-pilled one

Interesting. Yeah, being serious is usually because one is stuck in his own head and lacks perspective or understanding.

I see, now it's a little more clear. I guess what comes after a feeling of completeness is sharing, or expression. Something like you are so full you are overflowing and it happens despite you kind of thing.

Don't be a suck-up.

1 second, my friend.

Can you be complete and still want to survive? Can you achieve nirvana and still want to eat, breathe etc?

yeah, just like everything you said in favor of porn, lmao You are actually a porn defender. Can't make this shit up kek

Everything can be a wast of time, that's relative. However, porn has real consequences on the body and psyche beyond opinions on time spent. And porn isn't? Please, bro. It's giga addictive plus it can have drastic physiological and psychological effects on your sex life. I think you don't know what a gooner is.

Gaming is better than porn though, at least it has deep stories, meaning, puzzles, symbolism, philosophy, the author or creator is offering you his perspective on reality, which you can learn a ton from. A Porn user is just an animal horny to release tension from his body -- when consuming porn you are like a dog, or worst. With the ammount of crazy stuff nowdays, I would say porn users are below animals on average.

Shut up. I am a lovepsist

Yeah I agree with you. It's just too shallow to be honest. Unless you are trying to get a girl or really horny, I find almost no reason to go out and try to meet people. One thing I also noticed is the sheer neediness in people's face. You can almost touch their sense of lack and need for attention. Like they are beggars and not confortable in being alone and thus they socialize a lot.

Alright chief, this makes sense. Emotions are more raw things and seems to be prior to self. But what are emotions though? Just energy? Still, it's tricky, emotions are definetely tied to self-preservations mechanisms. Even though chronologically the self hasnt risen yet. Or maybe it is always there but dormant, as a seed. So the self is still what's running and emotions are on top of it?🤔 Animals don't have a self? Maybe they do but they just don't know it ? As in, they are not self-reflective? Since you are more informed on this, there's research on this type of stuff? Will we ever be able to know what's the qualia of an animal?🤔 I think this quote is pretty interesting to think about when thinking about this: "Consciousness sleeps in minerals, dreams in plants, wakes up in animals, and becomes self-aware in humans"
