Are Cred Forumstards too stupid these days? 2008 Cred Forums would've been able to answer it

It's not valid, to say everything outside of your own mind might not exist, is fucking hogwash. Self is physical. The way my eyes translate to my brain what I see everyday is questionable but I am not an illusion, my dog that I pet everyday is not an illusion. The brain and mind are like an evolving sponge that grow and change everyday. Solopsism is fucking edgey nonsense

OP is....well...a faggot.

There is dozens of other threads for you to vomit that same comment on as much as you'd like. Feel free, this is an interesting topic

Awareness is the only reality. Anything else in an illusion. By illusion I mean that it does not exists the way we conventionally think it exists. Conventional wisdom tell us that things exist by their own. I argue that things do not exists apart from awareness.
The self is just a thought that come an goes. It is not there all the time. Awareness is what make possible the self thought to appear. Otherwise, how would you know the thought about self?

In the previous analogy the dream will be awareness, making it possible everything to be known and at the same time being everything. The self will be the dream character we identify with. It has no reality other than the dream (awareness) but from its point of view (self) it exists by its own.

everything is fake.
reality is only what you chose to be real

fuck off

>Solipsism is fucking edgey nonsense
this.
If arguing with somebody who truly believes this solipsism bullshit isnt already retarded enough, arguing it with "the self is but an illusion" forces me to believe that the people arguing from both ends have downs.

>my dog that I pet everyday is not an illusion
but
if you dream about petting your dog, and it feels real. is your dream dog not an illusion either.
how do you know you are not in a coma right now? or a brain floating in a jar created by some weird alien race?

>interesting

Because when i can wake up from my dreams. So i know he dream dog was fakw.

Those seem like paranoid answers considering they are being made from earth. The moon is real, space is real, the trillion and fucking trillion of planets we haven't even seen yet are real. It would be cliche to say that life is not a simulation considering the possibilities of all those other planets. But we humans are a species that are growing and advancing by our own measures. With the lights on or off or however you have to look at it.. that is what's going on lol. If 100 people can look at an apple on a table and say yeah that's an apple then it's not a fucking illusion or fake lol

Simple short answer to OP: cogito ergo sum.

Done; next topic.

But what made you think, in the first place?

A witty saying proves nothing


If you want to prove anything regurgitating rehashed quotes, then you're going to have to elaborate

...

He wouldn't be able to properly answer without meming. Hes just rehashing what he read on wikipedia

Simple and short because you're not able to articulate and expand upon it properly

everything we experience including our inner thoughts are an illusion, our experience of the universe is limited and thus any school of philosophy or thought in general is completely invalid outside of our subjective experience, or in other words, our understanding of the universe is imperfect as we are limited by only being able to experience it in a subjective way in the 3rd dimension, and therefore any theory we could up with for anything is limited by the same limitations.

tl;dr Humans aren't smart enough for anything they say to be valid.

why is it so impossible for 100 people to be experiencing the same illusion?

cogito ergo sum faggot

Faggots trying to ruin a thread with a pointless pissing contest fucking greenies, post some useful interesting shit for once. Doesn't it get old looking like a faggy edgelord all the time?

but you only know it was dream after youve woken up.

is the dog real or fake DURING the dream?

>confusing perception with the self
Go back to your porn threads retard

the cold hard truth is nobody knows shit.
and nobody will ever know any final answers

thousand year old questions will not be answered tonight on a website filled with animal porn and faggots.

Its fake because the contents of the dream depends upon your real life experiences. Aka. Experiences outside the dream when you're awake

Because there is a fucking correlation in those reults? If 50 people saw an apple 25 saw an orange and 25 saw a banana then your illusion argument might almost make sense but that would never fucking happen lol

Alright ghandi go back to your cave

Nothing Descartes ever said is at odds with what I said.

The Cogito Ergo Sum meme is cute and all, but being able to think only proves that you exist, nothing more, and even Cogito Ergo Sum is based on a flawed understanding of the universe.


ITT: People who refuse to accept that humans are too stupid for anything they say about themselves or the universe to matter outside of our own little earth-sized circle jerk.

if i was a slave owner and told my hundreds of slaves that in these lands we call trees "boogers" does that make a tree a booger?

your logic is retarded.

it doesnt matter how many people agree on something its all just mass illusion.

You just compared a lie and a fact.. an apple is an apple and always has been. A lie that you tell someone is a fucking lie and always will be. I'm gonna go get a tin foil fucking hat and wear it in hopes that the shit you are posting might start making sense

It does because thats the word they ascribe for something that is a tree

Your the select few of snow flakes that actually believed the moon might have been made out of cheese. All this illusion bullshit is false and you know how I know for sure? all your responses keep getting edgier and edgier out of fear and anger because you know your stance here is weak as shit. Oh I forgot tho all of this is just an illusion I'm gonna go take a bath in pudding and pray to my illusion fairies while listening to a Michael Jackson album brb

>responses keep getting edgier and edgier out of fear and anger because you know your stance here is weak
Not him but no one gives a fuck about looking wrong on Cred Forums of all places. Get over yourself. Youre projecting
