So what? :lol:
Darkneos wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:43 pm If anything it just negates your initial “so what” because it indicates there wasn’t anything behind it.
Does it?

So there's something behind your "so what", but nothing behind mine? Sure seems you value your "so what" more than you value mine.

Darkneos wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:43 pm You end up defeating yourself.
You seem to be pre-supposing some sort of value system. Are you saying self-defeat is inherently non-valuable or something?
Darkneos wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:43 pm An it is impossible to be a nihilism since you have to value it.
Sure seems like recognizing nihilism as inherently true is sufficient. No need to value it any more than there's a need to value the fact that Earth orbits the Sun.

Darkneos wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:43 pm You are also not really attacking another position by saying “so what” if you don’t hold any actual positions. Your criticism is just empty. In short you were defeated before the game even started.
So what? It sure sounds like you value "defeating" people.

OK. You win. So what?
Darkneos wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:43 pm It’s why nihilism isn’t undefeatable, it defeats itself.
Self-defeat is a meaningless notion. To use your own phraseology - it makes no practical difference to a nihilist whether nihilism "defeats itself" or not.

Because there's nothing inherently valuable in "winning" or "defeating" others.

There's nothing inherently valuable in "being right"
Darkneos wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:43 pm So I’ll say, where are you going with this?
Nowhere. I am just pointing out that because nihilism is fundamentally true philosophy, and the usual mind and language games played in a setting of "winning" or "losing" arguments is inherently a worthless activity.

Philosophy is only valuable if you choose to value it.

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.
Darkneos wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:15 am
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?

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?

Okay. But, so what? As some would say.

See, I ALREADY KNOW HOW to OBTAIN 'certainty'. So, 'certainty' and 'absolute certainty' here IS POSSIBLE.

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.

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.

Still didn’t answer any question. Like I said “oneness of”? Just oneness doesn’t say anything. This is what I mean by you don’t get it. Oneness isn’t oneness, at least according to the philosophies I read. It’s more advanced than that. Not that I believe it to be the case but at least they can argue their point and I can respect that.

I also find it dazzling how someone can write so much and end up saying nothing. You really are insane.

Well also scared too. This really just reads like fear.

'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?



Would you like to INFORM the readers here WHY you INTRODUCED the 'buddhism' word here?

If no, then WHY NOT?


Okay. But, so what? As some would say.


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.


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.


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.



Do you NOT like those words.

Do they OPPOSE YOUR BELIEF that 'these things' could NOT POSSIBLY EXIST, IN 'your world'?



OKAY, if 'those words' MAKE 'it' SEEM like 'I' FEAR absolutely ANY 'thing' here, then that IS what SEEMS LIKE, TO you.


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.


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'?


So-called 'good enough' for 'what', EXACTLY?


BUT, TO you, there IS NO ANSWER, right?


you WILL FIND 'them' in MANY PARTS OF Life, and NOT just on this one tiny little 'philosophy forum'.


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.
Still didn’t answer any question. Like I said “oneness of”?
Yes I DID. I SAID and POINTED OUT that there is ONLY One 'Thing'. So there, OBVIOUSLY, could NOT be ANY 'thing' ELSE, which 'Oneness' could be OF.

Now what are these ALLEGED OTHER questions you, SUPPOSEDLY, asked, which I SUPPOSEDLY did NOT answer.

Also, absolutely ANY 'thing' here about 'Oneness' is just YOUR ATTEMPT AT DEFLECTING AWAY FROM what I was POINTING OUT and SHOWING earlier.

Furthermore, WHO has NOT been ANSWERING the QUESTIONS ASKED here, can be VERY CLEARLY SEEN here.

WHO CARES?

Oneness was NEVER EVEN UP FOR DISCUSSION.

I JUST ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.

I had NOT EVEN BEGUN to argue ANY 'thing' here. I was just POINTING OUT SOME 'things' and JUST ASKING you SOME VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD CLARIFYING QUESTIONS so that I could obtain a BETTER UNDERSTANDING of WHERE you are COMING FROM, EXACTLY.

Okay if that is what you SSE, READ, and have ALREADY CONCLUDED IS TRUE, then ALL IS WELL and GOOD. Well to me anyway.
Darkneos wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:54 pm Well also scared too. This really just reads like fear.
AGAIN, if this is what you READ and SEE, then this is PERFECTLY FINE WITH me.

If there is ANY truth AT ALL to 'it', then that is ANOTHER MATTER, and some 'thing' which WILL COME-TO-LIGHT later on.
There isn’t one thing, there are many things. You can see it if you have eyes.

This is just sad at this point.

Here is a PRIME example of just how adult human beings USED to think, and BELIEVE was true. That is; that what they 'SAW' they BELIEVED was true, as well as BELIEVING EVERY one “else“ SHOULD ’SEE' and BELIEVE the EXACT SAME 'thing'.

They were VERY RARELY, if EVER, OPEN to the Fact that what they 'SAW', and BELIEVED true, may just NOT be.

Previous history, like when people BELIEVED that the sun, and the Universe, literally, 'revolved around them', one could have thought would have been a GREAT LESSON to NEVER ASSUME that what one 'SEES' and BELIEVES is true is ACTUALLY true. BUT, OBVIOUSLY, this LESSON was NOT LEARNED, especially by this one here, hitherto when this is being written, anyway.

'TRYING TO' make "the other" appear INFERIOR, as this one has just provided ANOTHER GREAT example of, was a VERY COMMON tactic USED BY ADULT human beings, especially if the male gender, back in the days when this was being written.

It WAS USED because "the claimer" usually had absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER ELSE to FALL BACK ON and USE.

Still wrong.

Also you know what disproved the sun rotating around us? OBSERVATION! Weird right?

Just digging your own grave here. You're lucky there aren't really mods around though.

Still wrong.
In regards to 'what', EXACTLY? Or, to just EVERY 'thing' I said?

NOT 'weird' AT ALL.

What I FOUND 'weird' though is even when someone is EXPLAINING a NEWER or MORE COMPREHENSIVE version, there WERE, and ARE, STILL SOME people who BELIEVE and WANT to INSIST that the OLDER version IS the absolutely TRUER or RIGHTER version, while NEVER even STOPPING to just LOOK AT and
CONSIDER the OTHER version. Which IS EXACTLY what you ARE DOING, and SHOWING, here.

Have I even begun to ARGUE FOR ANY 'thing' here?

If you think or BELIEVE, 'yes', then what is 'that', EXACTLY?

WHY, what do you ASSUME or BELIEVE WOULD HAPPEN if there were?

No, that's what you're doing. There are billions of people on the planet, obviously some are going to believe what they want despite the evidence to the contrary, just like you. Nothing I say is gonna get through.

I'm beginning to see why the smart people on here don't reply to you.
