@NoxieDC "Reality is real, that's certain." Not so. Nothing we experience is first hand, but via electrical signals interpreted by our brian that constructs the signals into a reality. Dreaming and 'awake' realities are accepted as 'the' reality when we are experiencing it, including any history no matter how absurd. About the only thing we do have is "I think therefore I am". In all cases it is 'you' doing the experiencing. The only constant is our sense of self. :D
And the material universe is only "real" so long as you experientially exist within it. Once dead, I can't find a single "real" aspect about physical reality. Whether consciousness goes on is irrelevant to the fact that any subset is only illusion amongst the superset unless expressed as a perpetual pattern in the superset.
The hat thing makes you look pompous just FYI. No judgement here, because I don't pretend to know people from trivial YT vids, but I thought I'd let you know. Interesting thoughts though.
Boolean logic isn't flawless.... only recognizing absolute states of true and false causes serious paradoxes which break logic. Conditional truths are required, at the bare minimum, to make logic even close to usable as a base axiom of philosophy, at least in relation to approaching the true (lol) nature of reality.
Well, first of, you don't give an argument as to why "I think therefore I am" is wrong. An argument would have made it clearer.
Springing from the basis of "positive emotions are good": Reality is real, that's certain. If it were only a dream then it's strange how every other human being has expressed thoughts similar to your own so you're not exactly a god. If it is a dream, it's kind pretty stupid - why aren't there constant good emotions if it's YOUR dream? Not the case.
@PaddyCuinne dont even remember what i posted. probs was upset about being lured away from jeff's discussion, youtube drama bulsshit anyway, to something completely off topic. thnka
@PaddyCuinne That's an understanding with only a first person relation. You can be pissed as hell, and show it, but I can still be quite skeptical. And no matter what you say, there is nothing for me to conclude you are in fact feeling emotion except your own word, so we run into a terrible predicament. Besides, if I am evening having trouble proving that I exist, then proving that something I'm not sure exists can feel is also pretty hazy. In the end, we run into a big fat wall of uncertainty

He should read the sceptic's debate in 'Atheism: The Case Against God' by George Smith. A complete refutation of this premise.
