Completely insane false dichotomy.P: [.i]There is no such thing as reality-in-itself. [ii] There is only reality-contingent-with-humans.

Re: Dear wokeroaches
On many forums, registering under a new name is not permitted, not sure what's the rule here. Probably safer for her to pretend that she's not VT.

Re: VA:Reality is Real, PH-et-al:Reality is Illusory
Incoherent word salad, neither proving nor refuting anything. Instead, one could just admit that Kant made a big mistake by not considering indirect realism. ... Thus, indirect realism cannot be classified as a form of transcendental realism... The CPR is an 800-pages long red herring, who cares abo...

Re: Meaning?
I understand having a personal purpose, but I don't understand why people think that the human race has an intended purpose, or that the universe has one. What's not to understand about it? :? If I could answer that, it would mean I did understand. If you think our existence has a purpose, explain ...

Re: Meaning?
I don't really understand it, either, that's why I'm asking the question. And I don't understand what difference God makes to whether we think there is any point to our existence. Even if after we died we went on to spend eternity up in the clouds with God, what would be the point of that? Are you ...

Re: Meaning?
If religion gives life 'meaning' then what is it? 'The meaning of life is religion' doesn't mean anything. 'How' is it the 'meaning of life'? See? You're just back to the original question. I've always thought it was a stupid question anyway-- one with no answer (probably because the question doesn...

Re: Reality is not Absolutely Independent
Another self-refuting attempt. Some oases we see turn out to be illusions/hallucinations when we get there, other oases turn out to be real when we get there. That's the difference between illusions and real things.

Re: Reality is not Absolutely Independent
The one yearning here for something out of psychological desperations is clearly the one who wants the world to be just an illusion, never real. So now we even have an illusion upon another finer illusion, allegedly. Illusion squared. VA used to be a rabid theist. Conjecture: the instant VA even jus...

Re: What could make morality objective?
We couldn't know that they are illusions if indirect realism wasn't the case (we would have no external, mind-independent reality to compare phenomena to), which again shows that transcendental idealism is bollocks.

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Ugh sorry … these topics are too big to get into here. Nondualism is a whole different world, and yet it's the same world. Did you know that you probably also were a nondualist once, for a short time, in very early childhood, before it got overwritten.. I do not believe I have a problem imaging a n...
