not knowing that others have thoughts at all.
And since “we” cannot know for certain either way, whether people exist like one does, “we” have to question our preference . . . the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, orgins of the positive word connotations and their negative flip-coin reversals. . . a range of varying degrees on a moving spectrum, never matching up . . . . Change, the one true constant.
Absolutism is like masochism in that it can be far more believable. After all, why would something so bad be intentional, unless it were the best way to deceive oneself, to consume the big lie. Without that lie, we can no longer enjoy the truth-hurts stage play.
To be is to perceive . . . and it’s what you don’t know that matters most. {The idea of a high powered microscope} can be viewed as more important than any concept gained from what the {thought-up-object eventually shows in magnification}.
Free will says that you must choose and determinism liberates you from having to do so.

Why wisdom beats game theory: if you submit to life as perpetual change and you loosen your grip on permenant state fixation, you go from being a dog to a lion. When a rock is thrown at a dog, the dog puzzles over the object it has just been hit with. When a lion is struck by a rock, it immediatlely chases the throwing source.
When a drinking glass breaks on your kitchen floor, do you curse this new sharp mess, or do you wonder at the amazing length it had previoulsly held form? After all, it had provided you with the half-full/half-empty drama of questions you don’t know the answer to, but, for well-established fact, actively pursue. Lines and the actors who commit to them, praised for their performance, but attacked for the ungeniune insincerity that we all laugh at later.
Thanks for letting me share. You are a superior mirror.
