I live in the USA and its so bad i just cant interact with most people. They are basically entirely vibes based. They dont research anything if they hear a new claim they decide if its true based on if they feel like its true. You can literally show them evidence and most will be like "nah thats bs". I made a comment on 小红书 recently about how 54% of americans read below a 6th grade level and my replies are FULL of americans saying "uh i can read" .... can you really?
Truth is literally just your belief. What's your problem with people "feeling like it's true"?
Truth is material reality. People feeling like magic is real doesn't make it so, and if you cede ground to these solipsists then you can't get anywhere as a society.
Uhuh. Let's say truth is material reality. What is material reality?
What actually exists in the real world.
So I guess there are things that don't actually exist in the real world. They exist in some other worlds? What are other worlds except for real world? What are the criteria to determine if somehing exists in the real world or not.
You're trying to make an argument for solipsism, and against science. If you truly believed this, then you'd have no problem walking in front of an oncoming truck, as it may as well not be "real," but you and I know that's not true. Instead, we can know the real world through testing and confirming material reality and how it works through the advancement of science.
Believed what? At what point in our conversation did I state my beliefs?
Maybe stop spawning unnecessary entities? Here you say there's real world and then there's material reality. Wtf are those and what's the difference between them? Are there other worlds? Are there other realities? Just stop for a second and try to comprehend what you're writing.
It doesn't really matter what you call yourself, your fundamental argument is in trying to play word games with abstracts, rather than just going with what you and I both know I'm talking about. I'm fairly certain you're a troll, though.
Are you accusing me of not reading your mind? Is it my problem you can't write coherent sentences? Now that's trolling.
