You are the only one that is real in this world. You are the one that can perceive this world. You see everyone else, but you have no idea if they can see you, you only take their word for it. When you speak to them, they speak back and you hear them, you never know if they actually hear you. You can feel them, but do they feel you? You'll never know. Even as you read this, you'll never know if anyone ever typed it, or if it's just how you perceive this world.

The feeling of concrete "self", or the feeling of having some well defined person inside you(refered to sometimes as one's homonculus, or one's soul) is an illusion.
The creature observes its actions just as it observes others, forms a mental image based on that and positions it in a social hierachy.

Feeling like a person is the same mental gymnastics as knowing another creature still exists when it leaves your sight.

Human children are not born able to do this.


Basically: you're not born with a "soul", you grow one. However, it's merely an after-image.

Someone who has the exact same memories replaces you and goes about your day, so you only have one day to live

>Between every second there is an eternity, a paused frame of the universe, where nothing has happened, where everyone is dead and where a moment is paused.
maybe you die every second, left into an abyss of time, and every other second some other creature replaces you with the same memories, and you don't realize that because you have the memories of 'you' that existed one second ago. each 'you' is left in each second, like a drawing is left in a frame of an animation

Imagine that some people you meet over the course of your life aren't sentient. They're essentially automatons who act, speak, and behave in a way completely identical to conscious humans, but they have no thoughts or mind, and as such are unaware of the fact they aren't "real" humans. Because they appear identical to humans in every way, even conscious people can't detect the difference between themselves and automatons. Walking down the street, there could be equal part automatons and humans; you'd never know even if you studied each face rigorously or questioned all who passed as long as you like. Logically, this situation entirely possible, but if one was haunted by the possibility that they're surrounded by well-disguised automatons, most would think they were insane, which in all likelihood they would be. So, if most of us assume everyone else is sentient and feel justified in doing so even though pure logic states that it's only one of two equally likely possibilities, then why do we feel so confident that another person we're talking to is similarly conscious? It must be something outside of explicit reasoning, meaning that for our most fundamental decisions about appearances rely not on logic but on something else. Given the similarities between humans and animals and the near-universal forming of habitual behaviors, one could reasonably assume this is instinct. So, do we fundamentally rely on instinct for all our most basic decisions and perceptions? I argue yah

Half was an arbitrary number, it could be any amount or percentage of people. But to answer the question, what explicit reason do you have to assume that everyone around you isn't an automaton, why do you and the rest of the world assume everyone around you is conscious?

They don't think or feel; they only seem to. It'd be like watching a movie- technically the character is only an image on the screen caused by lights, but you empathize with it and because it has the image of being human you react to it like you would a human. Sure, there's an actor that causes that image, but when watching the movie itself you're not watching the actor, you're watching colored lights which you emotionally identify with as you would another human meaning that appearance is the only criteria for us to "feel" human or for something to seem human

it seems that for progressive intelligent life like ours the endgame is the singularity wherein the speces takes over its own evolution via technological means. naturally some people will want to use technology to circumvent mortality- assuming they are succesfull and outlive the earth the result would be a fleet of computer people constantly upgrading their bodies in space. further down the line the expansion of the universe would inevitably leave them stranded in a virtually infinite void, being left alone in space with nothing in any direction as far as they could travel (at some point the expansion of the universe will overtake lightspeed) they would essentially be the highest level of conciousness in their observable universe and to occupy themselves they would likely run simulations of reality. certain ones might even set up a set of varying rules and run many simulations of reality. and within those simulations assuming they are complex enough the beings inside them may very well progress down the same path and begin running simulations of their own, in which the beings begin running simulations ad infinum down to a level of complexity so small that they cant run any simulation of reality.

in other words, its entirely possible that there is a level of complexity in a reality above ours running a slightly simplified version of its reality in a simulation.

or maybe reality manifests itself as an infinitely larger sequence of simulations.

>Children do not learn that books exist, that armchairs exist, etc.,etc. - they learn to fetch books, sit in armchairs, etc.,etc. Later, questions about the existence of things do of course arise, "Is there such a thing as a unicorn?" and so on. But such a question is possible only because as a rule no corresponding question presents itself. For how does one know how to set about satisfying oneself of the existence of unicorns? How did one learn the method for determining whether something exists or not? "So one must know that the objects whose names one teaches a child by an ostensive definition exist." - Why must one know they do? Isn't it enough that experience doesn't later show the opposite?
For why should the language-game rest on some kind of knowledge?
Does a child believe that milk exists? Or does it know that milk exists? Does a cat know that a mouse exists?

i think the whole discussion of free will is just a circlejerk that dances around the problem that saying someone has free will or not is a framing mechanism based on an abstraction so removed from reality that it can't be applied, so it's empty of meaning. it's what comes out of abstracting choice, taking it from the everyday sense and trying to seperate it from the humans who make choices, and in doing so distorts its meaning to the point that this new abstract "choice" without context doesn't exist in reality as we know it

i disagree, the whole concept of choice in itself is separate from the people who make it and if you take those people and subject them to the same experience over and over without changing their experience up to that point you would most likely get the same output from them.
take people whove had major concussions for example, they will be in a state where they are dropping in and out of consciousness and have no memory of the time in between. they will, in fact, say the same thing every time the come to conciousness before blacking back out because the input will be the same and unchanged by repetition due to the lack of memory.

Our consciousnesses are all programmed to perceive what pain and sorrow is like, even though the experience is obviously ambiguous, we have the ability to relate, and communicate solely because of our emotional distress. We have linguistic capabilities because of our relation, our want to explore our consciousness with other beings, to better the understanding of our overall one.

To underestimate the godly power that we hold is to ultimately underestimate a human in this objective reality.

But is every reaction strictly repeatable? We're more complicated than a single chemical reaction. Consider the butterfly effect or the induction fallacy. Different effects can arise from the same cause. This is what causes choice, as being sentient provides with the ability to decide (to our knowledge) what happens.

You're right. DMT is more or less used to connect with the universe, of course you don't have to. You clearly didn't. The mind decides what it wants and how it wants it.

I don't think any concepts are separable from their specific contexts or instances. Sorry for incoming block of text:
>In describing an object as green, we are not wrong in observing and identifying the object’s greenness, but to assume that the green of one object and the green of another are the same (even if they appear to be identical shades) in the sense that they are part of some greater, separate “green” that can exist outside of the particular object in which it is embodied is a misstep because there is no such conceptual "green. So, green and other descriptive terms are just convenient linguistic grouping devices that have no “real” presence outside of their application as concepts (or as psychological or sociological devices we apply to the environment), and so concepts as inferior to tangible objects or traits in that their definitions could be redrawn, made broader or more specific, and a new grouping category could be unproblematically introduced in its place. We could redefine green as a particular shade of blue, or reject the word green and use more specific terms such as olive or lime; in effect they would all serve the same function regardless of where we drew the line. As such, the comparative process inherent to the construction of concepts is arbitrary, so they deserve no credence outside of their functionality.
>Now, apply the handy little trick to “good,” “right,” “just,” etc. Particularly with the good, the concept is empty and essentially meaningless in that it always seemed to implicitly express another word, such as kind, beautiful, or proficient, all qualities that are pleasing to the individual, so “good” just means pleasurable in whatever sense. This means all ethics based on a discussion of abstracts is falsely based, which is all ethics, so there is no real "ethics" or right or wrong because every action is contextual an inseperable from that context

it depends on how much you let it effect you.

you can take all of the positives from it and even do it to the point of dissolving your ego completely and your day to day life would largely remain unchanged (in the long run though, probably not) as long as you remember afterwords that you where on a drug.

however the things you experience are powerful and people have been known to be driven to religion because of it. you experience intelligent hallucinations on it and some people experience these hallucinations as a god or godlike, others experience them as lesser or greater beings in varying numbers.
some people cant handle that and continue life in the same way

in the end it affects you as much as you want to let it affect you.

umm, unless you smoke it every day, none. and i don't recommend smoking it every day. in fact tolerance builds up quickly so its a waste to it more than once a month. once is all you need. otherwise expect a lessened fear of death, a heightened understanding of life, and an elevated awareness of the problems you need to deal with. like a wider scope of your mental illness, or addiction.

You don't connect with the universe, you just get a bunch of really intense emotional and perceptual sensations that are foreign so you assume they have to come from somewhere else, when it's really only foreign because it's chemically induced. I thought I'd died multiple times and was reborn as a bunch of objects on a really intense DMT trip and when I woke up I thought it was cool but I didn't start spewing out hippy hocus-pocus because I know that while the sensations feel real, they're not, it's just drugs

Idk I'm really skeptical of all the spiritual shit but it was incredibly novel and you see some absurd shit.

The babby-tier Cartesian go-to arguments that we need to be skeptical of everything only work if you believe that absolute logic is the source of all decisions and you're anal enough to think that being "reasonably sure" that an absurd theory isn't true isn't good enough. This is coming from a guy who used to make and smoke a fuckload of DMT and do a ton of other drugs and felt the same sensations people say are "spiritual," but who knew not to take drug-induced feelings too seriously and knew that just because something was intense doesn't make it true

I don't mean to say that people somehow automatically hold beliefs they haven't thought about. But I don't think it's a sophistry to say that disavowal of a particular belief can be an affirmation of belief itself. Calling yourself an athiest is defining yourself in terms of theism. That's the way to break apart the word "a-theism". Much of the time, at least in American culture, so steeped in Christianity, someone says atheism when they reject a god who's omnipotent/prescient, the ultimate judge and punisher... In the end, that's a statement about what god is like.

I mean, I suppose it's fine to say "I don't think God is a meaningful idea"... then that's agnosticism.


if anything, "a-theism" should indicate that they're defining themselves in terms of the theist position... and "theism" isn't just "belief system"

the concept of choice in the sense i was using it was not separate from the original context it was used in (a person making a choice) so im assuming you mean that you believe that any discussion about choice is arbitrary because the concept of choice is meaningless outside of discussing it in the context of specific people under a specific set of circumstances.
if that is what you're saying then the second half of what i said where i was talking about people who've sustained concussions meets your criteria for meaningful discussion.

in response to the green text, i disagree with the first paragraph because there is a greater. seperate, 'green' that can exist outside of the object because the greenness is not a property of the object but rather light reacting to the surface of the object. and i agree with the second paragraph because obviously there is no such thing as absolute morality.

Even if green is light reacting to the surface of an object, when we see "green" it's an individual instance of light reflecting off one surface, and in calling another object green and observing the same phenomenon we group the two instances together to form a linguistically-based concept that we assume also exists in reality, which I think it doesn't. And the concussions example does, but I think anytime we talk about multiple instances as one we still use grouping devices that can be accurate or not, and the only way you can determine accuracy is to go back to the situations you grouped together. Same with choices, the choice to do one thing has a different context it's inseparable from than another choice that has a different context it's inseparable from, and to group them together ignores the context without which the individual "choice" wouldn't exist in reality and as such give the term choice meaning.

All that has ever existed are the atoms that are around us. Everything that we ever see, feel, touch, taste, smell, and perceive is made of the same atoms that existed after the creation of the universe. The Atoms have been through literally everything. They have seen worlds rise up and be torn apart, over and over again. They have made up countless planets, stars, comets, and most of all, people. The Atoms have existed for all of history, and they will still be the same Atoms for all time until the universe ends. When people pray to God, they simply visualize the wrong image. Instead of a man in the sky, God is the Atoms, and the Atoms are God.

If two events are indistinguishable, then I think it's OK to group them together.

I think that's applying an interpretation to various instances of choice though; by focusing on and defining choice by a single aspect or by similarities you ignore the aspects inseparable from individual instances which are integral to what they are, and force them into an interpretation that isn't indicative of how they are in the phenomenal world. By generalizing, I think that means in most cases we ignore certain features of instances and accept others, which is useful but ultimately inaccurate, so it can't be a basis for truth claims

in my opinion there is a definite distinction between belief and knowledge, because belief implies a lack of data.

for example i believe that i will die of old age, however i dont actually know if i will or not.

i cant think of any real world example of an agnostic theist but the idea doesn't seem completely incomprehensible to me.
for example someone submitting to the (shitty) logic of Occams razor, or perhaps in a hypothetical situation where someone was steadily discovering clues that a god may exist.

>Like I don't understand how an "agnostic theist" could be.
Most people are. They say they believe but if you ask them for proof they'll tell you that they don't claim to know and that they believe on faith.
Gnostic theists would tell you that your existence (or whatever else) is proof of God. They KNOW there is a God.

>in casual usage, isn't "atheism" used for a definite rejection of god's existence?
In casual usage some people do think of it like that. However the distinction between agnostic atheists and gnostic theists would be similar to what I wrote above.
Agnostic atheist claims that he doesn't know if there's a God out there or not but doesn't believe in it because he doesn't have faith and doesn't find the evidence compelling.
Gnostic atheist doesn't believe in God and claims to know (through application of Occam's razor for example) that there's really no God.

why does life even need a purpose? Why does anything need a purpose? it's seems to me that the whole idea of "purpose" is entirely a human construct, or at least some form of higher-mammalian brain construct. Bacteria don't need a purpose, rather, they just are. Chemicals don't need a purpose, rather they just are, energy doesn't need a purpose, rather, it just is.
The whole concept of purpose is a survival mechanism for humans and other similar organisms (why bother with something that has no purpose?)
So purpose-finding is a function of ours, but nothing inherently has to have purpose. It seems to me that finding the purpose of life, or the purpose of one's own life is just kind of a misunderstanding of the origin of the word "purpose" crossed with an egocentric take that anything good needs purpose, and hence, "I" the individual am good, therefore I need purpose.

Not that purpose can't exist for an individual - having a sense of purpose seems to be fulfilling for many people an that's OK, but the idea that everything in nature inherently has purpose, or that life itself has an absolute purpose, I think is too restrictive

philosophy is stupid and you should really just focus on what's in front of you as it comes because you could be dead in an hour.

think about things as they are and not with unrealistic contexts like religion or mlp

If universe exits because God created it, then human beings hold the power of God through their ability to create.

everyone has their philosophical beliefs.


>you should really just focus on what's in front of you as it comes because you could be dead in an hour.

is a philosophical statement.


philosophy is part of being human, and discussing it is entertaining because it yields insights into how your fellow men see the world.

yes religious philosophy is a thing, but not all philosophy is religious, in fact there is a large amount of anti religious philosophy.

There is no point to life.
You can put your life on a timeline (e.g. 1987, Bob 9was born.1994, Bob pooped in a bucket. etc.)
Even if you don't but a life or the world on a timeline, space and time are moving constant in a straight line, In order for a line to exist you must have 2 or more points, Therefor if space and time are moving constant, there is no specific point to life.

i get that youre trying to be funny here, but by your definition there would actually be an infinite amount of specific points in a life.
also space and time are definitely not moving in a constant straight line.

not true, time is a measurable event. in fact it flows differently in different parts of the universe.
gps satellites have clocks that are programmed to run slower to keep in synch with our clocks because of time dilation.

you just said the same thing in a different way, the question still stands.

how do you know that nothing would exist without a purpose?

What if, last thursday or yesterday or just 3 seconds ago, the universe came into existence with all us people, fake memorys we actually didn't experience and everything made up so that it seems that we have existed for thousands of years?

dear lord how do people this stupid exist?

time is not defined by a sequence of events, its MEASURED by a sequence of events.

google time dilation its an actual thing that is separate from the way we measure it.

well, ok. I don't want to fight over terminology, but I think one can listen to npr or whatever mainstream media and hear "atheism" used for "confident rejection of existence". I don't think this really changes what I've said about those types.

I don't think that "belief" and "knowledge" (as we're using them) are just two independent categories that can be put together in any combination. If you have belief, then you're not interested in talking about a god that can be "proven" with "data".

>>597071897
There's something to that, but The Observable Universe isn't going to step in and do shit.

Shrooms taught me that life is trippy. I think most things are just distractions to keep us busy. Things can have as much meaning as you want it to. It's weird. I had a dream I was 40 talking to my father. We were both old, and that'll happen in a matter of time. There's nothing we can do about time

Yeah that's true. Almost would make it feel like our life had somewhat of a framerate.

Also I don't know if you're referring to an error I made or to the fact that 'Last Thursdayism' is unfalsifiable. If there is an error then forgive me! It may be due to my lack of english skills at 8:30 am.

actually energy can be wasted, its wasted all the time. go look up the efficiency for any motor, or google entropy.

the universe is destined to die from running out of energy. google 'heat death'


i think the phrase youre thinking of is 'energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed'
which is a philosophical bastardization of the law of conservation of energy and only applies in isolated systems, not the universe as a whole.

that also has literally nothing to do with what i asked you, im sure it felt like a smart thing to say, but its not going to cut it. are you going to give me a real answer or wallow in the spiritual feeling you get from saying things you dont really understand?

>If you have belief, then you're not interested in talking about a god that can be "proven" with "data"
Well, then you know for sure that the person is theist but not if she's gnostic or agnostic regarding God's existence. Plenty of people (in fact the majority of people) I've talked to that believe in God claim they have no proof and it's a matter of belief with them (they're agnostic even if the usage of the word to mean a "nicer atheist" would prevent them from ever accepting that). I find it odd that every person you talk to that believes in God is completely resistant to clarifying if they think there's proof or not. Do you live somewhere with a lot of fundamentalists?
>>

>acoustic nigger

>>597077724
Or maybe to come at it differently... another thing that seems to fuel fedora atheism is a reliance on materialistic (provable, empirical, locatable) notions of god (not much different than extreme fundamentalists). If you forget about "data" and "proof" when considering god, you get a whole different discussion, one that's much more ecumenical, and you force people to actually grapple with the questions.
>>
>>597062837
>why do you and the rest of the world assume everyone around you is conscious? It's a leap of faith in a sense


i get the point youre trying to make but i think 'half the people on eart are automatons' is kind of a hard one to sell, i coulds say that i know that there arent any non conscious automatons because there would be no reason for them to evolve that way, or because the level of technology it would take to fabricate one would be much more useful to anyone if applied in virtually any other way.
or a million other reasons.
>>
>>597078555
I don't know that nothing would exist without a purpose in the same way that I don't know anything would exist without a purpose. I lost where you were going with that question. I just think there is more to life than what we know, because it's more justifiable than thinking we are here by mistake
