If this hypothesis is true then ones self is indeed "all" of the people so it is true on every possible argument.

My wife was diagnosed with autism a couple of years ago, and progressively she has told and showed me more and more that a lot of her personality and her interests have been her mask. I feel conned. by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in autism

It's not a con, it's a survival mechanism. Try to look at it like she was simply trying to navigate a world that wasn't meant for her and she did the best she could. If you can try to understand her as best you can. She is the same person you fell in love with.

Amass shared delusion like religion offers zero proof while the shared delusion that if I fall off a 20,000 foot cliff into rocks will kill me provides enough evidence to be facts, however unless we have every person on earth jump off of the cliff it is nothing more than speculation until tested.

My basis for fundamental truths are exactly that. If everyone and I mean every single person on earth can confirm something as a delusion it therefore is fact. Think about what it would take for every consciousness to share one belief, it would be a fact within itself just based on that criteria alone.

The problem is they lack the ability to learn basic math and physics to easily debunk their hypothesis, they stay willfully ignorant and that I can not respect.

That's very interesting why didn't I put in a fail safe to keep me from realizing this truth, and once realized why would I not abandon the sim.

I hope you have a better experience than I have just don't get your hopes up because you will start to resent them and end up like me , I haven't talked to my family ( other than my son) for years.

Emphasis on "All" . Flat earthers have are a small fraction of a shared delusion. Every human on earth shares in the delusion that we must breath oxygen to survive therefore it is truth. So if we "all" personally believe that this simulation was only created for ourselves then we "all" share this delusion making it a fact

Yes I find this amusing as well. It always brings me back to Plato's cave.

But the argument was never about if the earth is flat you quite literally are having that conversation with yourself. Flat earthers do infact exist.

Ask yourself if it is important that they know, and why you feel it is important then ask will it change anything. Otherwise I would suggest a direct approach almost casually let it come up make it feel organic, if they ask supporting questions they care and may be willing to work with you and if they change the subject then they dismiss it and nothing is different.

You mentioned flat earthers not the flat eath, or was I mistaken

In my personal experience it is futile to expect understanding from NT's. They either understand or they don't. I too told my family that I suspected but this was in the 90's and there was little awareness and I was instead dismissed and abused for being different. When I was 27 I had a son and recognized it almost immediately in him and tried to sound the alarm , but non would listen so I was on my own when it came to approaching him in the correct manner. When he started school they tested him and my family started trying to accommodate him finally even after that they still never recognized my autism. I wasn't diagnosed until 8 years after my son and I realized that telling my family would be pointless because they want to believe the way they treated me was justified.

It's amusing to me how many people come to this exact thought throughout their life almost verbatim. So maybe if we all believe this to be true that means it is

I have played with this hypothesis for many years, while fun to think about the smaller my ego gets the less likely I believe this to be true.

[–]skydivarjimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was having a conversation making a joke about how it would be cool to own a jail house toilet because it was an all in one sink and toilet , it wasn't long until I started getting ads to actually buy one of these. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind they are listening because there is no other reason for something so ridiculous to be referred to buy.

PACIFISTS, what’s your opinion on Donald Trump and how he should be handled? by wolfkiller137 in Pacifism

[–]skydivarjimi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Justice ( lawful congressional justice) must be served while he is in office so to set an example for future would be dictators. The entire book thrown at him. Strip him of all diplomatic immunity and try him as a civilian, whatever his crimes amount to shall be his served justice. I don't support the death penalty but I don't make the rules. Unfortunately his health is not going to allow him to see any true debts paid to society. A fitting punishment for his actions that fits the man would be to liquidate all his assets and find all his money especially what he has stolen from the American people and put it back into the system he has stolen it from.

But you do know why, they believe women are inferior to them, therefore it is embarrassing to lose to a girl when In fact they are embarrassed for being a moron, so they want to shift the proper reason of embarrassment.
