But you've been fooled before already?
I find the I think therefore I am to be a poor argument since how do you know you're exist just because you think?
Yes but I'm very aware that Im awake now.
well in the end you are only relying on data
In your brain
Of course.
Never underestimate your brain though.
It's very complex.
The point here is that its hard to actually make concrete observations about what objectivity is
you never actually have seen matter
I disagree.
just a representation of it
I'm not trying to convince you of anything
Most things I know is second hand information but I know it to be true and trust worthy because those people dedicate their lives to studying their fields. And the fields I study I know to be true after days of studying and observing.
just that its at least hard to define this
Fair enough
On some level we can't be certain of anything
Not 100%
No but I'm not that paranoid.
Im not saying its fake lol
I know.
I'm just saying if it was the worst situation.
On existence itself atleast.
the point is that objective reality is probably not exactly as we perceive it
I can say probably not
Because we're just relying on a reflection of it
and thats a philosophical point
not a hard piece of fact
Oh I agree with that. However I believe objective reality to be very near to what we perceive it as since we're an intelligent and strategic species.
But that's a judgement based on faith really
a good judgement sure
How else could I survive? Either way like I said I'd still play the game.
yeah we all play it
And I sure as hell need faith.
why?
I'm a sceptic, even thought about objective reality and stuff. But I'm not going to risk being some nihilist. In this world you need to care for things and people so I will.
wait who said anything about nihilism!
Why keep rejecting it if there's no benefit?
I didn't mean to suggest you should reject anything
