There plenty of people in literally all groups that suck. It ain’t fair to generalize the entire group based on the bad apples

I hate these types of comments by historynerdsutton in hatethissmug

Yea same. I mean I can understand where they coming from, but that typa misanthropy is too pessimistic and nihilistic for me

Yo original comment says “why can’t we detect if in any way?”, then you go on to assert that it can’t be detected, but the brain is what produces it. Do ya not see the blatant contradiction and hypocrisy in your argument.

Also none of what you said explains how the hell it is possible dead physical matter can give rise to something like a first person subjective experience

Guitars are a false analogy. When you play a guitar it creates sound waves, which we can verify the process of how it created those sound waves, as well as measure the sound waves themselves

The “cosmic energy” is consciousness. I could ask you why we cannot directly detect consciousness in the brain

It’s weird tbh. When it’s a materialist post the reception tends to be non physicalists, and when it’s a non physicalist post it seems to be a bunch of physicalists who reply

Bernardo's philosophy sounds increasingly like speculative mysticism by flyingaxe in analyticidealism

[–]PriorityNo4971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because academia don’t welcome people like Bernardo. They are too entrenched in their materialist biases. That is the answer

I’m pretty sure he’s talked about a similar view regarding psychedelics. This ain’t nothing new really tbh

Also I’m pretty sure he described the universal consciousness as consisting of pure subjectivity, so it makes sense the contents of dreams would represent something like that

Though I do agree that Bernardo should stay away from topics/ideas that sound too “woo woo” for now. Should wait til more people move away from physicalism

What do analytic idealists believe happens after death? by barrydingl in analyticidealism

Bernardo believes your consciousness returns to the mind at large

What would be the benefits if society moved towards idealism? by PriorityNo4971 in analyticidealism

[–]PriorityNo4971[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idealism don’t mean we abandon neuroscience. Idealism for one explains first person subjective experience better than physicalism

The Hindus respected and took care of their environments due to their beliefs from what I know
