[Discussion] Here is something to think about

[The Western Wheel]

What if i would fcking smash your ass into the ground? would that feel real or naw?

Depends... shock, denial and other mental states can make it not real... just like you image as a badass... it's not real. You're pressing keys, not any luck with violence in 'real' life.

well i learned it today at school so it caught my curiosity .Problem with it ?

I don't know what they were teaching u at school, but i can say this: this is REALITY, always has been always will be, move on something as trivial as that is a waste of time to bother yourself about

The ability to think and reason implies that there is a thinker (you). Thoughts can't exist without a person to think them. Illusions can't exist without someone creating them. If you aren't actively creating them, then that means they are either created by someone else (God, in the case that only you exist) or that that person is real instead of an illusion. That was the argument that Rene Descartes came up with to prove his own existence and that he was real. Obviously it does not apply to just one person but everyone, meaning that we all do exist.

He was a French Philosopher many years ago; that's not exactly how he put it but that's the gist of it, you can read his meditations if you're interested in stuff like this. It's something I learned in philosophy this semester Lol


Edit: Just saw BeHaku's post, Descartes is already more known around here than I thought he'd be

Because I said so.

And what is "illusion" anyways? How do you define "illusion" and how do you define "reality" as to doubt that maybe we are not in "reality" but in "illusion". If we are really in an "illusion", then we just can say and believe that this "illusion" is the "reality".

I feel like it's a bit pointless to think about this. Though, it do triggers our brain to think more and more, which I guess, may be good.

This is the kind of stuff I think about when I'm in the shower, at sleep and at the toilet XD

-how do we know if we are real or people around us are real,it could all be just an Illusion

-free will does not exist.

- "i think, therefore, i am". i know i'm real, i'm not sure about you though.

- free will is the only option, scientificly (quantum mechanics) it's impossible to predict the future, randomness is everywhere.

That's really wise .

Gotta drop some knowledge every now and then so people don't think I'm just a perv cause of my gifs Lol



Even though I mostly am just a perv
