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 ?
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
but that doesnt make it so
Ah ok
I get it now. More or less I think.
So there are a lot of ideas about this
Wouldnt you need to base that on faith though?
Its fun to explore them
I believe a lot of things to be based on faith.
well thats a good point and a central idea in buddhist philosophy
Interesting.
They would say, no faith is not enough
You must experience objectivity
It cannot be conceptualised
