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

maybe certainty

Oh I know.

that would be a sceptics position

I'm just saying if I were to believe in nothing I'd probably be a nihilist.

Ah well thats another leap of faith!

so theres a lot of philosophical traditions based around this question

I'm just saying what I'd believe atleast.

yeah I follwo

I believe we only have one life though

So you believe time is linear?

So who am I to ruin any lives?

Hmm I don't know to be honest

past present and future may just be a singular thing ?

Sounds like a paradox though

How so?

How could the universe exist and not exist at the same time?

Assuming the universe was to end of course

ah see now that's a pretty weird idea

A universe that is all at once

Doesnt make sense to me

just think about time as a singular thing

we experience it linearly
