A lot of what you just said is meaningless noise so I'm gonna pick out the ACTUAL points here:
I note that you did NOT say what the 'it' word refers to, exactly, which you CLAIM you REFUTED.
But the ULTIMATE 'thing' talks about, and which can be PROVED True is Oneness.
Oneness of?
The one and ONLY One, OBVIOUSLY.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Also I have a suspicion of what that oneness means and I'm pretty sure you don't get it. From what I was told oneness isn't "one", "dual", or "Both" or "neither" but rather a subtle truth. It doesn't literally mean oneness, though Buddhism was always a bit tricky like that.
But no, you can't prove oneness true. All you're doing is just asserting it so.
So, you NEVER ASK FOR CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, while ALSO NEVER CHALLENGING ABSOLUTELY ANY 'thing', BUT you FORM the OPINION, CONCLUSION, AND BELIEF of some 'thing' ANYWAY. Oh, and by the way, proving Oneness was NEVER the issue here. I just ANSWERED the CLARIFYING QUESTION you ASKED me. Which is some 'thing' that you appear to NOT want to do "yourself".
I ALSO NOTICE you completely AND utterly BYPASSED the POINT ABOUT you NEVER informing 'us' of what the 'it' word IS/WAS, which you CLAIM you REFUTED.

Absolutely ANY one could say absolutely ANY 'thing'. BUT, if they can back up and support what they SAY and CLAIM with ACTUAL PROOF, then that is ANOTHER 'thing'.
I told you proof is for mathematics,
YES, you TOLD me 'this'.
I ALSO INFORMED you that if you can NOT back up and support YOUR WORDS and CLAIMS, then that is ANOTHER 'thing'.
What do you base your CLAIM here on that 'proof is for mathematics'?
And, do you ALWAYS BELIEVES 'things' WITHOUT ANY PROOF AT ALL?

in real life we have evidence.
In the ONLY Life I have PROOF. Which, by the way, I USE.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Using evidence we make a best guess about what is going on and sometimes it goes well and sometimes no, it's a never ending process of refinement.
But A 'refinement' to 'what', EXACTLY?
The CONCLUSION that you can NEVER KNOW what IS ACTUALLY TRUE or NOT?
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
You and him say the "I" is an illusion
LOL
LOL
LOL
Here we have ABSOLUTE IRREFUTABLE PROOF of just what happens to one who bases their WHOLE KNOWLEDGE of and on some 'thing', solely on a TINY SNIPPET, of the WHOLE and BIG Picture.
'you' CLAIM that 'I' SAY that the 'I' is an illusion. So, now that we KNOW that you do NOT USE 'proof', what ACTUAL 'evidence' could you be USING for this ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY ABSURD, False, Wrong, Inaccurate, AND Incorrect CONCLUSION of YOURS here?
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
but Buddhism doesn't say this, not truly.
Would you like to INFORM the readers here WHY you INTRODUCED the 'buddhism' word here?
If no, then WHY NOT?
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
When asked if there was a self the Buddha was silent because it didn't matter for enlightenment. Though what they mean by illusion is a permanent and unchanging self, like a soul (which was in contrast to Hinduism which says the opposite).
Okay. But, so what? As some would say.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
See, I ALREADY KNOW HOW to OBTAIN 'certainty'. So, 'certainty' and 'absolute certainty' here IS POSSIBLE.
But, OF COURSE, if you BELIEVE otherwise, then 'it' could NEVER BE, correct?
No you don't, you just believe yourself certain and that's the most dangerous form of belief.
I found BELIEVING that "another" HAS A BELIEF, when they do NOT, a VERY, VERY ABSURD and ILLOGICAL BELIEF to HAVE, and HOLD.
As for the ACTUAL DANGER that DOING SO POSES, we will just have to WAIT, TO SEE.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
But I do NOT rely on just 'evidence'. I rely ON and USE ACTUAL 'proof', INSTEAD.
Asked and answered.
Honestly this is just noise.
OF COURSE it IS, TO you.
Which PROVES MY POINT ABOUT HOW one who BELIEVES (in) some 'thing' IS NOT AT ALL OPEN, in ANY way, to absolutely ANY 'thing', which OPPOSES that BELIEF.
Thus, MORE and FURTHER, IRREFUTABLE, PROOF I HAVE just PRESENTED to 'you', readers, here.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Yelling that folks just don't get "The truth", and yet you have no actual arguments for it.
This one here IS, ONCE AGAIN, PROVING ANOTHER CLAIM of mine. That is; they WILL ASSUME 'things' BEFORE they even BEGIN to SEEK OUT CLARITY FIRST. Thus the reason WHY they were/are SO Wrong, SO OFTEN.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Like...using words like proof, ultimate, know, and certain.
Do you NOT like those words.
Do they OPPOSE YOUR BELIEF that 'these things' could NOT POSSIBLY EXIST, IN 'your world'?
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Honestly this just sounds like fear, fear of not knowing, not being certain,
OKAY, if 'those words' MAKE 'it' SEEM like 'I' FEAR absolutely ANY 'thing' here, then that IS what SEEMS LIKE, TO you.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
demanding proof as though it's some solid sort of support for yourself.
WHERE have I EVER 'demanded' proof? OF COURSE I HAVE ASKED you FOR SOME. BUT if you HAVE NONE, then so be it. I WOULD NEVER EVER 'demand' ANY 'thing' FROM ANY one.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Like...I just feel bad for you, because it's almost like some pathological need to have THE ANSWER, when really no one truly has it.
So, to you, absolutely NO one has THE ANSWER, right?
Are you EVEN AWARE that SAYING and CLAIMING 'this' is ALSO CLAIMING TO HAVE 'THE ANSWER'?
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Science doesn't claim to, it just does it's best with what it has so far. And to be frank, that's a way better track record than any other system out there. It's not perfect or complete, but it doesn't need to be, it's good enough.
So-called 'good enough' for 'what', EXACTLY?
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
For the questions it can't answer, like ethics, well that's what philosophy is for.
BUT, TO you, there IS NO ANSWER, right?
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
Honestly though, I came to this forum to discuss philosophy and instead I get nutbars who think repeating the same thing over and over makes it true.
you WILL FIND 'them' in MANY PARTS OF Life, and NOT just on this one tiny little 'philosophy forum'.
Darkneos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
You might want to check a spirituality forum, not a philosophy one.
Here we have ANOTHER who has NOT YET backed up NOR support just ONE of 'its' CLAIMS, RAN AWAY FROM ANY and EVERY CHALLENGE, would NOT OPENLY and Honestly just ANSWER the CLARIFYING QUESTIONS ASKED, all the while just LOOKING AT and 'trying to' ATTACK the "other".
By the way, do you have A REASON WHY you will NOT ADD my name when 'you' quote 'me'?
you OBVIOUSLY DID NOT ANSWER last time, just MAYBE you MIGHT 'this time'. We will WAIT, and SEE.
