Regardless of how I feel about the hot stove, it will burn my skin all the same
SCIENCE
the thing is, your view of rationality is dictated by your beliefs @NativeInterface
Iksio lel
thats irrational!! everyone knows the reason you get burnt is cuz its actually GODS STOVE, and he's punishing you for touching it @Uksio
well why does that matter?
it results in people having different conclusions about reality
what is reality tho
Determinitstic universe removes free will though
who has a better grasp on reality
you?
or me?
But bible implies free will
reality is what is outside of the mind
Because perspective is really important when discussing ethics and emotions
So what is it?
but you can't comprehend what is outside of your mind
everything you see and experience is in your mind
this could all be fake
all part of a fever dream
I think therefore I am Prodigy
You can test stuff and reference it with others.
hitting us with them Decartes powah
exactly @Dr.Wol
If it's all a dream, go and pour some boiling water on your hands.
we can try and understand, and if there is something, then some people are closer to understanding it than others
If it is a dream, simulation or else, it still follows some rules
Cogito Ergo Sum
how would I know if the water is real?
or just my brain imagining that it's real
You wouldn't.
exactly
if we are living a dream, then reality is that we are living a dream
your reality is contained within your own mind
But if it's irrelevant to you because of that, you wouldn't mind either way.
This is why I need to connect my brain to a machine
Just want to double check
hot-sauce doesn't "incinerate your tongue" but it still burns cuz the substance activates your pain receptors
So either it is relevant to you, which makes the point whether this is real moot, or it is not relevant, in which case you shouldn't be so hesitant.
so to say "pain shows its reality" is arguably false
