heard this on a podcast about LSD trip. seriously thought-provoking wisdom there.

Subjective truth and theological shenanigans > we think we are playing with other people, but really we are just playing by ourselves. > we are all playing chess by ourselves. Thats solipsism
Everything said here basically comes down to either solipsism or source of Oneness, which is compartmentalized in duality This is understandable for our human consciousness, you cannot even prove consciousness itself exists, why therefore assert you are playing by yourself? Just call it Oneness, you dont know how consciousness operates in non-duality
Yeah and so what? Everyone does this. That doesn't mean you should be an asshole OP. Treat people with respect for fuck sakes. Sage this thread is gay go to /x/ with this faggot shit kys

the "they" of other people are "you". we are all one. there is no you except in this dimension, which is why it exists: to give "you" and others existence, otherwise we'd be all one and indistinguishable. it's not lonely but it's pretty noisy.

>we're all living in a fake reality trapped inside our own brains, assigning meaning to completely meaningless sensory information and making everything and everyone into symbols I never fucking understand people like this. Everything is an illusion, a symbol, or whatever, except the brain. The brain is the ultimate truth. The brain, neurons, sense organs, are just as much illusion in your perception as the rest of what you think of as physical reality. There is no brain. There is no body. There are no senses.

I think its some reverse ego death effect, not narcissistic per se (or maybe), but it enhances one's perception and idea of the ego, perverting its actual purpose

other people are real. or at least they seem to get pissed off when you don't act like they are real.

I think we are all gods living in our own creations, experiencing our own power that is so powerful that we create our own weaknesses. So: all the drama we go through is created by us by our subconscious power to cope with our powerful selves. Everthing we experience is a creation by ourselves in order to relieve the boredom of being powerful. If you think about it, why is there millions of ways to die though we struggle to stay alive?
there is definitely a shared world, but you need to believe in the characters for it to be any fun.
John Cox
I understand, but that is contradictory to what I was trying to explain. If I believe in other characters and have fun, then it will bring me back to my power and freak me out.

Meh. When people think this way, they think they're enlightened, I think they're immature and on drugs. Get a few GFs, go through the cycles of ups and downs, and you'll see it's more complicated than that. Have a kid. Get a *good* job that is not only rewarding but satisfying. You'll see that your rewards come in so many forms, from just peaceful coexistence to financial things, to generosity to selfishness, to base rewards, to conceptual satisfaction because you're doing well and on a linear path. Not to mention all the bad shit, too. People can be assholes, or great, and they pop out of the shadows like muggers and are either holding flowers or sharpened screwdrivers. You never know what you'll get upon any random interaction. So, saying people are an aspect of our own perceptions is bullshit. Because they can kill you or fuck you or walk right on by, and that shit is certainly not a figment of our imagination.

I studied philosophers for a second, and one of them came to a realization that he knew nothing. He came full circle so to speak. I'm not sure about this, but everthing is actually nothing if nothing is part of everthing.

>I studied philosophers for a second, and one of them came to a realization that he knew nothing. A lot of them come to that result if they have enough time and their ego is in check. Those who think they have all the answers have just not heard all the questions.
he is mad because he thinks nobody in the history of mankind has ever given deep meaningful study to the human condition until LSD and podcasts were invented. you know, your typical 15 year old public school kiddy.

this is a common misconception about his quote - it's not "i know that i know nothing" but actually "i know that there are things i do not know of".
so its more about stating that ones knowledge is limited and that there most probably is no absolute truth/knowledge instead of stating that you know 'nothing"

That wasnt OP replying to me judging by the capital letter but surely another ultra-intellectual
Christopher Nguyen
Take the allegory of the cave, but upgraded Instead of us being able to perceive the source once we break free we can only acknowledge that nothingness predates and creates what we perceive as empirical reality, since we cannot imagine or experience nothingness in the present state of man If nothing never existed outside of our perception then we couldnt perceive time itself, thus eternity, which is beyond that of our understanding Philosophy hasnt even begun but whats more important right now is anthropology

Well, your old friends could just mail it, because mailing acid is about the easiest thing in the fucking world. But since you're probably lying about former friends who could score acid, just learn to order shit from the DM.

>you cannot even prove consciousness itself exists Exists in what sense? I can prove very easily to myself that consciousness exists, because by questioning whether or not it exists, it must exist to do the questioning. You mentioned solipsism, this is the foundational truism and a truism it remains:
If I question, I think. If I think, I am.

So, let me understand... I take acid a bunch of times and understand life better than living it? Because I took acid a bunch of times, AND lived life. And those thoughts are the result of weighing the two and coming to my own conclusions. Yet, you think otherwise, that I havent done drugs, and lived a mundane life. Thats why I think immature people have an incomplete concept of the larger facts of life, and shit on the rational.
