That’s gay, faust. It’s also like the first thing cleared up in most basic epistemology books; the difference between psychological certainty and epistemic.
You may think that’s common sense, but I think it’s just dismissive anti philosophical nonsense.
Haha. Our emotions and feelings might not be real either. (Was just asking if we can certain or not, jeez)
That’s right. They may not. So go ahead and drop that chair.
And do get right back to us.
How can you be certain of the reality of our reality? In a dream that dream world is your reality. Is it not possible that you just haven’t woken up yet?
My dream world can be manipulated and have no laws, my reality has laws and I cannot manipulate anything in it without using those laws.
Xilivai:
Well, can’t we know about our reality? As it’s a place in which we have no control over, can’t we know that this chair is actually here (Just an example)?

though we cannot write the specifics in stone, because there might always be something more of something misinterpreted, we can know that we are interpreting SOMETHING.
This is something. the chair represents SOMETHING, even if its just an equation in a virtual reality console.
we can know something exists, though we cannot understand “something” fully.
‘I think therefore I think I am thinking. Come to think of it, I just might be wrong.’
This seems to be the problem we are facing with ‘change_my_mind.’ So, before I change your mind, can you tell what your name was before you started posting as change_my_mind before I change my mind? I am not sure I can even change your mind. How could I possiblly know I changed your mind?
Let me ask you; are your needs met. If they are not, do you know or have any inkling of what you have to do to meet them? Are you getting my drift?
Have any of you heard of Einstein’s Riddle? Uncertainty reminds me of it. (Or the Zebra riddle I think it’s called)
That’s right. They may not. So go ahead and drop that chair.

the senses deceive. They are also subjective. What is sweet to me may be sour to you.

i have a whole book of riddles like that one… all you need is a pencil, some paper, and some solid rational inferences…
horray for being in the top 2% ![]()

what is something to you must be something to me… i wadger…
Haha, thats totally fake except, if you can solve it in your head without a piece of paper and pencil. (I can’t, but mabe one day) You say you have a whole book on riddles? Is that all it is? Just logic puzzles?

solving it in your head might take a very long time, or it might not, it depends on how obvious the available inferences are…
It’s like sudoku, some are harder than others…
Yes, instead of riddles, i should have said logic puzzles.
The problem in comparing a logic puzzle to this thread is that the things we already know are in question, we have nowhere to begin.

no, we have different delusions (illusions) of the same thing ![]()

Well, we all know that we are something and that we observe something. BEGIN!
