That's not really an argument. Be specific. Specifically what is it about this thread that is
I don’t know how accurate it is because I didn’t watch the video to compare it to. I trust Zanick’s judgement.
I’m not really making an argument. I just answered your question with my subjective opinion.
So yeah -
2018-04-20 at 12:26 PM UTCThe brain doesn't "hallucinate" "reality" (yes I just air quoted two consecutive words) it just doesn't have access to the entire electromagnetic spectrum (because the brain didn't evolve to do so - it's a product of natural selection, not universe detection). Just more hippie bullshit to make impressionable hippies like Obbe question everything because everything is relative and subjective and there is no truth amirite Obbe? Amirite you contributing to the destruction of civilisation postmodernist faggot fuck???????????

I don't know.
But I think you should at least watch the video. -

2018-04-20 at 1:16 PM UTCJust watched it and I agree with Zanick’s assessment
-
2018-04-20 at 1:19 PM UTCI don't need to watch it because Zanick's assessment has been verified by Fox Paws

I appreciate your endorsements, but my assessment was deeply flawed. I recommend watching the video to see why. -

You started out in this thread with your mind already made up, impulsively shitting on the thread without giving the topic any consideration.
And apparently I'm the one with a "mind virus" . -
2018-04-20 at 6:09 PM UTCI didn’t say anything about a mind virus; that was HTS I think.
Pretty sure I contributed some actual stuff to this thread though. Like in the later pages -

Ok. I would appreciate it if you didn't impulsively shit on these topics, though. I don't think I ever did that to you.
Originally posted by Fox Paws I honestly don’t understand how you can have all these ideas about the self being an illusions and all that, and still get upset about shit. Like if you legitimately believed what you claim to then why do you let anything bother you at all?
It's not like I'm slitting my wrists over this. I do think the self, conscious perception, etc, is a sort of illusion, but it is a persistent one. I still live a normal life and talk to people and enjoy having conversations, even if it's all objectively meaningless I still want to do it. I would like you more if you would catch the ball and toss it back when I start a topic like this instead of shitting on it. Or if you are above these discussions then stay out of them. Why do you have to shit all over it every time? I get that you think it's funny but it's really not that funny. It's just annoying.
Can we just talk about the topic? Can you watch the video and tell me if you agree/disagree or whatever? Or, failing that, could you just fuck off? -
2018-04-20 at 6:24 PM UTCI almost never post threads anyways.
The ones I do are made to be shat in -
2018-04-20 at 6:26 PM UTCI watched the video afterward and I think everything that was said is perfectly plausible.

Ok. That last posts wasn't meant for you alone. It is directed at everyone who likes to shit on these topics for no real reason.
Thanks for letting me know you watched it and think it's plausible. Nobody likes to be compared to an insect for being interested in certain topics.
