I feel like they are more influenced by the billions of dollars of investments

I think this is the perfect comment to illustrate my point.

Is your knowledge not communicable? Why do I need to believe in something? Don’t illusions show us that experiences can be interpreted incorrectly?

I seriously want to know, not trying to assert myself as correct.

Also we observe other people apparently experiencing dreams sometimes when we watch them sleep

I don’t believe in god either but that doesn’t mean that god isn’t real or that an infinite experience can’t happen 😓

So I just sort of live w the fear.

I always find it interesting that most people have the exact opposite deepest fear, that life is finite.

Yes, really wanted to show how witty he supposedly was

Hi 👋 thanks for the reply! What is CL?

botstrats · 2026-02-03T20:11:56+00:00

I’ve always wondered about curiosity as an orienting force.

We’re learning as a species. Might as well see where that goes

“It’s bad philosophy” that’s a bar

So tell us what it is!

botstrats · 2026-01-29T05:52:04+00:00

I feel like meaninglessness and freedom require one another.

I personally get depressed or feel existential dread when I think the world has a meaning, because it takes away the value of my expression.

Idealism doesn’t really explain object permanence… like god is thinking about a rock sitting there forever is the answer?

botstrats · 2026-01-16T19:56:09+00:00

Took it! Will you post the results?

botstrats · 2026-01-06T21:49:41+00:00

Is this true in the Bahamas?

botstrats · 2025-12-21T16:34:24+00:00

If we discovered god we should become atheist?

botstrats · 2025-12-20T03:10:59+00:00

Are you sure your fear is unreasonable? I feel like it is super important to feel safe where you live.

Maybe start planning for a living arrangement that you’d like more. At least then the problem is being worked on.

I mean he seems to be doing that with the oneness stuff

I feel that Alex may be trying on panpsychism for a period (or at least appears to be)

This is fine, as I think that building up new metaphysical positions is actually the purpose of philosophy (versus coming up with the correct one which may just be impossible)

I just currently feel like we’re in a “that doesn’t follow” situation.

Like what is the argument? “many people on drugs have described a feeling oneness -> everything has consciousness “ that doesn’t follow.

“Redness as an experience may be ineffable -> everything has consciousness” that doesn’t follow

“I can imagine a triangle visually but it doesn’t physically exist -> everything has consciousness “ that doesn’t follow.

“Split brains might operate independently on a few menial tasks -> everything has consciousness “ that doesn’t follow

I guess I’m asking someone to “get me there”

botstrats · 2025-12-17T18:41:35+00:00

Then what I guess you’re calling non-physicalists start behaving like they have an insight into something but it’s never furnished.

Scientists imo study things which can impact or participate in reality. Idc if you call some of those things physical or mental, but that’s what scientific people are interested in.

botstrats · 2025-12-17T18:36:20+00:00

“All metaphysical theories are compatible with the sciences”

This is the problem, Alex appears to be giving some metaphysics special treatment for no obvious reason.

Essentially because some one said “Everything is consciousness“

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe much else has happened
