You are making the positive claim that existence exists outside of our mind. The onus of proof is on you.

Because existence has to be focused on

Awareness is not a passive but active state, when you close your eyes does everything vanish metaphysically

Knowledge is what makes possible the discovery of fallibility.

Would something you perceive in a dream exist as much as something you perceive while awake?

Existence is identity
2019-02-13 02:24:33 UTC  

No, because it does not consist with reality

halfthink

How do you know you are awake?

Through introspection and checking the facts of reality

Would you be able to know when you are dreaming?

@halfthink You should pick up Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology if you have already read the novels

halfthink
2019-02-13 02:38:32 UTC  

I haven't read the novels, only a bunch of excerpts from her philosophical writting.

Atlas is great

I don't like what little I've read of Rand, and particularly don't like objectivists.

Existence is identity

I wouldnt pin Objectivists on Rand as a lot of them are evasive and misunderstand her work

Existence is identity
2019-02-13 02:40:26 UTC  

They are more mixed than Objectivists

halfthink
2019-02-13 02:40:32 UTC  

Just as everyone misunderstands marx.

2019-02-13 02:41:23 UTC  

Well Marx is misunderstood

He's incoherent.

Read the first few chapters of Human Action if you want to understand where I'm coming from.

2019-02-13 02:42:40 UTC  

Okay

halfthink
2019-02-13 02:42:45 UTC  

Mostly deals with epistemology.

2019-02-13 02:50:49 UTC  

Even if you dont want to read the Rand. Id highly recommend picking up Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology if you want to see how full of shit everyone is and learn to integrate

I checked the channel and immediately thought it's just halfthink being a retard and everything being ancap vs libertarian self-destruction.

Annoying or not, it's our duty. Preferably with a large rock or sledgehammer.
