Okay faggots, can we get a metaphysics thread going?
I really wanna understand how reality works. And don't give me those pleb tier Plato cave or Kantian thing-in-itself bullshit. Where do I start with advanced metaphysics? Give me some theories that'll fundamentally change my world view.

do you understand physics already?
Read the Timaeus
Metaphysics is an effort to salvage Platonic ideals in almost every case

Well nobody truly understands physics. But I know something about QM and GR, if that's your question.
>>989155
That doesn't seem to be the question.

Truth be told to get at anything decent you are going to read actual papers and books. Comments on 4chan won't take you very far. So my suggestion would be to pick out a topic in metaphysics, check the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy for your instruction, and for authors you want to look into on that topic.

Well, they did say it's also for philosophy...
Why do you want to fundamentally change your world view?
Is it obviously wrong?
>he needs texts about reality to concieve reality
Nigger you don't need nothing but a functional mind and your senses to know about reality.
Basically it's the sum of all your perceptions plus thought process/interpretation.

Nothing can be proven, you just have to chose whichever unlikely theory you like the best

First, think about your own consciousness.
Once you awaken, I'll tell you the next step.
