There is no self

I don't know, that's why I asked

Prove that proofs yield truths

Where do your hands begin? Where do they end?

"I am" is where the dream of self begins. When it ends, it is seen that it never happened.

It's not necessary/possible to show you proof; my consciousness is evidence in and of itself

Your "consciousness" is not evident to me, and for all I know does not exist. I am the only true individual in the world, I am the perceptive and reactive unique. No one is more unique than I, more alive than I. This is my world, my life, and you are all expendable players of my tale.

based OP, you are doing God's work

Exactly, it's impossible to prove to other people; that doesnt mean it doesnt exist

prove it lmao

>Where do your hands begin?
at the wrist
>Where do they end?
at the tips of the fingers
>"I am" is where the dream of self begins. When it ends, it is seen that it never happened.
no proof or grounds of inference was offered for this, so it can be dismissed

Does possibility exist a priori?

>I am myself; hence there is a self

>I

Words are nothing, concepts are nothing, they are empty because everything is empty.

Very good.

When you were born, where did you come from? When you die, where will you go?

When you are dreaming, you are convinced it is real. Yet, when you wake up, you say "ah! of course, it was just a dream"

Pontius Pilate btfo

>where did you come from
Vagene
>where will you go
Cease to exist
>convinced it is real
I lucid dream

Who came from Vagene? Who will cease to exist?

there is no proof that everything is empty, its a garbage-tier position

Noooooooo, aaaghhh you have bested me!

Get depersonalization disorder and you will see it's true

It's your emotions that create the illusion of things having some kind of substance.

I have it and every day I'm reminded of the fact that everything is empty.

Based solipsistic poster

You come off as rather the cocksure young fool, but giving you the benefit of the doubt:

Please define what you mean by 'self' and enlighten us all on how you know you have one

Please tell us why you think logical games are somehow truth, or even true in any deeper sense.

How do you know you have hands? How do you know what hands are? Aren't you simply assuming your hands, like your 'self', as something without giving it any real thought?

me

>When you were born, where did you come from? When you die, where will you go
asking those questions hypothetically isn't enough to cast doubt on the existence of a self, Jainism and Hindu philosophy such as Vedanta provide coherent explanations for all of those questions which involve a 'self'

>When you are dreaming, you are convinced it is real. Yet, when you wake up, you say "ah! of course, it was just a dream"
That there is the same continuous conscious presence that experiences itself as the same in both dream and waking life is an argument for the existence of a self

>become mentally-ill and retarded philosophical/metaphysics positions will appear to be correct
>therefore everything is empty
hmmmmm

He will.

What did you use to type that?

Even if that is so, you are simply agreeing with him. You exist, therefore the self exists. There is no basis that a conscious human being has to say that he himself does not exist.

More like
>the world you see is just a creation of your brain
>things like depersonalization disorder prove this
>the feeling of "substance" to reality isn't inherent to reality outside of your own mind

So if you see a world of "substance" it only means your brain is making you see that, it doesn't mean it actually is that way.

>I know that I have hands
No you don't

>Not every statement is both true and false

none of that is an argument against the existence of a self, consciousness isnt a substance

>Please define what you mean by 'self'
"a person's essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action:"

>and enlighten us all on how you know you have one
Who, me? That's the one you're talking to – and I'm talking about myself right now.

>Please tell us why you think logical games are somehow truth, or even true in any deeper sense.
What's the game? It's just an extensionally adequate definition of truth.

>How do you know you have hands?
I look at them, use them, feel them, and so on. I've had them my whole life.

>How do you know what hands are?
Because I speak the English language.

>Aren't you simply assuming your hands, like your 'self', as something without giving it any real thought?
No, someone asked me a question so I answered.

It doesn't need proof.

>>There is no self
there is, once you are a complete person.
