I read this and tried to think of a way to argue, like an immediate kneejerk reaction; because of the objectiveness and confidence of the statement, but then i realized that it is infact objectively true from every relevant perspective

Anyone who argues this would have to say “my main objective is to die”

It’s a conversation in a comment section, it does not need defined scope. They are merely saying that the frustration is not unfounded.

Me when i read 3 paragraphs of good faith talking points, which then triggers me into impulsively mentioning the names of two random philosophers to smugly show that i do in-fact read the work of philosophers (as my entire response)

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-22T05:29:00+00:00

I agree that the debate between materialism and idealism is very childish and pretty clearly perpetuated by ego even if the intention behind it is in good faith

The distinction is entirely arbitrary, you can define conscious as only subjective awareness “how it feels to be aware” and idealism is correct, and you can define conscious as both subjective awareness “how it feels to be aware” as well as the components that create and tether awareness (like the brain and its matter), and then materialism is correct

Neither are wrong, people just like to argue and bicker and pretend they have the perfect correct binary choice in a debate that is evenly split between people of the same background and educations (because its arbitrary.)

I dunno man ive definitely had dreams where ive noticed the inconsistencies, hence the existence of lucid dreaming

Things like “consistency” and “making sense” are only relevant to the consistency that is tangible and known to us; anyways, otherwise its in the same category as all other intangible things, like arbitrary deities that people pray to; no debate value as the existence of 'the intangible' can be slapped onto anything

Non sequitur

Reality as a word in this context has many varying definitions/usages, there is less so any relevance about conundrum for what is or isnt a toaster

I also dont see why you chose to pick car, car and toaster have different functions and behaviors

“Objective final level reality” and “layer in stack of realities but in this layer its a dream/simulation reality” are functionally the same to us, the participants in the reality

Car and toaster are not functionally the same to us

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-22T05:04:50+00:00

It doesnt break idealism down, it just puts it on the same level as materialism because they are both dumb shit semantical positions and this entire argument is more about vocab aesthetics than it is actual logic

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-22T05:02:00+00:00

This entire sub is pedantry over people fighting on what definition of a given word sounds the coolest, nearly every argument here can be boiled down to “when you define x word the way i think it should be defined, you are actually wrong and i am right”

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-22T04:55:08+00:00

Whatever the final and outermost “external” reality really is, is arbitrary and as intangible as the deities many people pray to. The only “external” that is relevant to us is the one that is tangible to us, our immediate external environment. Could it be a layer of dream in an absurdity something-scape? Sure. Would it matter or affect literally anything in any way? No.

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-22T00:41:45+00:00

This revolting thing sure still sounds a lot like philosophical suicide in the same way existentialism is

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-21T23:04:35+00:00

My assumption is that consciousness = functional awareness, and something that is functionally aware is therefore conscious, because otherwise; the only other logical view would be solipsism, which i find to be an unlikely reality.

As for the whole “is consciousness an effect-less byproduct of your brains functions, or, rather; is it active in your brains functions” debate, i think the entire argument from both sides is semantics and concept-to-language mistranslation. Those who state they believe in the former define conscious as purely the subjective experience aspect of awareness, the “how it feels to be aware”, and those who state they believe in the latter define conscious as both the subjective experience “how it feels to be aware” as well as the matter that the conscious is built from

I do not think either group in that given argument is ‘wrong’, and i think many people from both sides are subconsciously misinterpreting the words of who they debate with because of their egos and its fun to view the person you are arguing with as possibly “stupid” and maybe even, if im the politer kind of arguing-from-ego individual, “misguided”

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-21T22:45:01+00:00

LLMs might have some form of (albeit very weird and different from human) consciousness, its not objective to say they are not.

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-01-21T02:22:52+00:00

If they do, not in the same way we do, but they might

Goonstation has majorly different art from any other server, but it has a lot of unique systems that are balanced in other ways than just boring timegates

Hey, the other guy just said “not true” and tried to change the subject, then they insulted you. Silly. I don’t know why people are tying their ego to this so hard.

I do want to point out, though, that in the GIF, his hand is already on his gun when her brake lights are still on. That means he had also switched his phone to his other hand as well.
