      Way to assume there is a perceiving subject, you’re it, and its assumptions are reliable smh

    Nothing is real. Nothing matters. There is no man in the clouds judging your goon session. There is no inherent meaning to our existence. So the only things that are real and the only things that matter are what you do.

      This is an interesting blend of skepticism, existentialism, and atheism. But if you really thought that nothing is real you would probably act more boldly.

      Well, there is, but not in a religious sense.

    I’ve been through pretty much every stage shown here and now I’m firmly in the “I don’t know” camp. It feels like I’ll be here until I’m dead, tbh. Not that it matters (maybe).

    I know this is a meme post but I’m going to leave these here for anyone who wants to read up on philosophy, specifically Dialectical-Materialism.

    Georges Politzers’ book Elementary Principles of Philosophy

    Sean Sayers’ article Materialism, Realism, and the Theory of Reflection

    Note on EPoP: When my local group of comrades read EPoP together, many of us found Politzers’ arguments against religion in parts 1 & 2 to be too overly antagonistic to include in the mass community education program we’re developing (even though we agreed with the logic of Politzers’ arguments and his conclusions). Use this information as you see fit.

      Be sure to follow Politzer’s work with On Contradiction, as Politzer makes some errors regarding dialectics, contradiction, and the negation of the negation.

    Reality is whatever is going on in at any given point in gay bathhouses and everything around that is imaginary set dressing and lore to getting there

    Also in case somebody cares, my definition is that reality is time, space, matter and energy.

    Everything that is measurable; everything that is subject of laws and that a lord would possess.

    Like, i believe the word “real” literally comes from the root “re-” which means something like king-like (latin “rex”), so it describes everything associated with a worldly leader, which is mostly the possession of land areas and the (measurable) things that are thereon, such as kilograms of wheat produced.

      That etymology tracks more closely with the réal. Real goes back to the Latin res meaning property or affairs.

        Yeah, “property” as in something that can be discussed in court and the kings (or feudal lords) basically were the court as they were the ones enforcing the law. So it was a king-related (or rather feudal-lord related) affair.

    Nobody knows what’s real. Your reality is subject of your illusion.

    Incorporated corporeal flesh for the fetishes of murderers and molesters. Hyperfixation and masturbation as AI girlfriends fuck the bosses who laid us off. This could possibly be real.

    Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
