Ever since I was little I have always felt and believed we all exist in the same place at the same time.
Maybe I was just crazy as a kid and crazy now, to be honest I don't even think we physically exist nor reality. I feel we live in an illusion we live where we want to live, nothing else and we all live in our own reality. Pain to me isn't pain to you. |

Can I buy some pot from you? |
|
|
Of course we exist. How else can you explain Reese Witherspoon?
|
|
|
|
|
How can any one say they are real and the reality around them is real. For all you know my world is the exact opposite of your world, Love for you is hate for me Black to you is white to me etc etc. Perhaps the my feeling of pleasure the same experince to you would be pain.

Those of us that live in Zion are real.
The ones that live on the surface live in a false reality. |
|
What is the altertative? Go live at API if you want. |
|
|
I'm real, but I'm pretty sure most of you people are just a bad dream
|
|
I believe in time! It's time you check yourself in |
|
|
No, we are here and we're not figments. Total asshole is up there in Alaska, people her have met me |
|
|
My dog just told me to tell you to stop letting everyone in on the secret.
The "time" will come brother. The "time" will come. |
|
Well do you belive you can go back in time? If thime exist in all wouldn't you be able to go back in time? And what is stopping everything from happening at once? |

I believe that I'll never get the time back that I wasted reading this thread.
|
|
Reality is what we perceive it to be its that simple. |
|
|
How do you know that the color blue looks the same to you as it does to me? Maybe YOUR blue is actually green to me.
|
|

|
|
Back in time! oh yeah I saw that on Stargate 1 last week Now stop the crazy talk |

|
Does an inch exist? Time is the same thing, simply a way to describe something.
|
|
No see that doesn't work and I will tell you why. Eveything else taste like chicken
baring the known meat, Deer, cow etc. So there for your blue is my blue unless drugs are taken. Only be worried if the sky turns red and your water is blood. Then its time. wolf |
|
How can drugs alter my reality if my world is physical and that is why I my reality is your reality. How can a drug alter that? |

Albert Einstein said:
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." and "Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." and "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." |

I think your Reality account is overdrawn...looks like your cheque bounced. 1. Existance exists. 2. Consciousness is conscious. 3. A is A. What you're describing is difference in perception--my pleasure is your pain--sure. Those are going to be different. But in terms of the actual definition of pleasure (something I like, something that is good) and pain (something I don't like, something bad) are pretty universal definitions. I mean...you've heard the saying: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me? Of course you have, but while some people find whips and chains pleasurable, others would find it...double plus unpleasurable. Now, go and buy Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology and call me in the morning. |

|
Well that just proves I am crazy. |
|
|
It sounds like you want to do some reading on philosophy, specifically the concepts noumenal and subjectivism. Philosophers have been covering this stuff for ages.
ETA: RyanAR15 provides the right answer, btw. |
|
You missed my point completley. I know why, because I wrote it while thinking about crazy shit. |

Woah, wait...hang on here, time out! You had...a POINT? Holy shit! Hey, guys, he had a point! Just messin' with ya' |
|
|
I sometimes think I might be walking past someone who is from my past or future... or I see a kid or old man who is actually me but a lot younger... or other people I have passed in my lifetime.
Then I take my meds and I'm all better. |
|
I agree...first thing I thought of. "I'm trying to FREE YOUR MIND!" |
|
|
I almost dropped this class except I was trying to get in this girls pants. That's real time.
|
|
Time is God's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen at once.
Duh. |
|
Oh, for the love of Heaven, Oly, PLEASE tell me you are joking.
|
|
You ate the red pill too huh? |
|
|
You have been educated stupid and forsaken TimeCube.
Educated fools can't comprehend Cubicism. There is proof that 3 dimensional math is erroneous, and that linear Time is actually of a Cubic nature. Ignoring Cubium indicts you evil. Evil educators suppress student free speech right to debate Cubic Creation. Evil students don't object. Enjoy your day. |

Realy, life is an illusion?
R. Lee Ermey "Well, no shit." Jeebus what are you 12? Go read some classics: Hume, Bertrand Russel, shit go reag a little Aquinas and some of those Greek fellers. Then....come back and act smart, Or now that you "know" life is meaningless and mearly your on solopsistic dream what are you gunna do about that? |
|
Quit your job, give away all your assets, burn your house down, and hell...why not. Stab yourself with a rusty piece of barbed wire you found in a corn field. Reality will hit you so hard you wont believe it. |
|
|
No, reality is NOT a matter of perception, reality IS reality. What you believe has absolutely no bearing on what reality truly is. Simply put? 1+1=2....no matter what. |
