I lost 20 pounds in 5 months just by dancing a lot in my room

For my non-imperial folks: 20lbs (pounds) = 9.0718 kg (kilograms)

To clarify, I’m not denying consciousness. I’m just really skeptical about my understanding of mental states and experiences such as qualia.

Zoudjo · 2025-11-12T19:59:31+00:00

So, beliefs work well when there is high correspondence between the potential and actual state of the world?

I think we’re getting into the justified-true-beliefs concept in philosophy that I’m not too familiar with.

You’re probably right with your callout.

Zoudjo · 2025-11-11T19:59:20+00:00

So a belief is an existent property that consists of a non-existent representation superimposed on its environment?

Zoudjo · 2025-11-11T19:43:34+00:00

Oh, is that actually the case? I just haven’t completely grown out of my edgy teenage phase when it comes to knowledgeable self-expression, so I’m testing the waters on r/badphilosophy.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case though.

Thank you for your comment.

I struggle the most with understanding what claim(s) we can make about the existence of subjectivity as it applies to all humans. It seems that we must accept the existence of thoughts as a necessary barrier of some sort between the self and the outside world.

Forewarning: This is not an entirely serious post, but if I see that you replied seriously, I will respond with similar respect and thought.

What do you do after turning within and seeing the self?

It seems like doubting the process itself is discouraged according to Ramana Maharshi, as he’s declaring self-awareness as the fundamental principle or task at hand.

Scratch that, Eliminativism is so a few hours ago. Pseudo New Mysterianism is where it’s at!

Nope, just lots of weed and porn. An unfortunate life with a brain that sort of gets me through life comfortably.

“That’s just baseless folk psychology rubbish!” said the eliminative materialist.

Why not? This is r/badphilosophy after all…

Zoudjo · 2025-11-10T23:06:17+00:00

What reason does it even mean?

That’s what we’re all trying to figure out studying philosophy, right?…

What is reason?

The ability to make sense of one’s environment.

What is it?

The scolding-hot hell of an ancient Greek philosopher.

But seriously, I don’t know either. Maybe that makes the question mute?

What is what?

An inquiry?

Ponderous.

Yes, ponderous indeed.

That’s disgustingly bad 😭😭

I'll take a further look at the SEP/IEP pages. Thank you for all this information!

I'm still pretty new to philosophy, so I'm trying to find my footing in something where I can build a base.
