@Leo Gura A few years back you made the argument for solipsism from a moral point of view. I believe it went something like this: "God is so selfless it doesn't create any other, but bears all the torrents of consciousness itself" I thought that was a beautiful explanation and looking back it really hit a snare in me. Consciousness going through whatever, only for the sake of loving itself and being itself. Reminds me of Jesus on the cross.

Against that I would say, that qualia are in fact impossible to not be absolute, since they are thing which is directly represented to you as it is, by definition of it being qualia. This means all appearance and qualia are absolute. We could still postulate the existence of noumena behind these qualia; but now the burden of proof would rest on you. And my claim is that since it's entirely impossible to ever access or prove these noumena, all they are is a concept and an unreality.

what if you forgot all concepts and ideas and were just conscious of what is here right now. would you not see everything as absolute truth? why would you assume it's relative, when there is no "stuff behind the scenes" (since we forgot all concepts and ideas) to relate it with?

Thanks.

No, in this case not, you're all just coping. If humans and any individuals are not real to begin with, why would solipsism have to be unreal? It's simply the best way reality can be. I've cracked my mind around it for 5 years and there's simply no other answer than : Solipsism is real because reality being any other way would be evil. I've coped and cried but in the end you'll get over it. It's not like I'm living my life like it's real though. I'm still immature af as a human in many regards.

Not only do they defend their own dreams, others not realizing solipsism also facilitated your own awakening. You could have never awakened if you didn't live in and were nurtured by a society upheld by the denial of solipsism. I'm missing this humbleness from your tone. You still somehow think you did this all by yourself -

True, but people make the mistake that solipsism would mean that "their" human is now more real under solipsism than other humans, when humanity and any form of "being a separate creature" is a complete illusion to begin with. They think solipsism defies love, when it is in fact it. That being said, the realization of solipsism is in fact the end of all illusion and thus any form of worldly existence, let alone civilization (if all "humans" would start to realize it) You know what the dislike of solipsism reminds me of? Asking dream characters in a lucid dream what the time is. They start to go crazy, get angry or afraid, like they've been found out, and that the full realization would end their existence.

The beauty of solipsism is that there is no matrix of "other pov" existing to begin with. this would be a chaotic, schizophrenic reality, forever divided from itself. And the beauty of solipsism is that other humans are not any less human than you. This is the genius of God's design; other humans are not less real than you. "your" human is just as imaginary as other humans. How else could it be? The notion to even begin with that a "human is conscious" or "humans have sentience" is where the problems start off. The entire idea of sentience has to be reevaluated. -------------------------------------- Imagine Hitler dying and waking up as God. If he truly did those things to "others", how could God ever forgive himself? People suffered, it's etched in history. Since God is existence, God could never forgive himself except if it was all a dream, which is thankfully what it is. (Sorry for the radical example, I don't mean to offend anyone by it, but this is what I mean with solipsism being the highest good, it is the ultimate salvation of evil)

Why are you you and not me?

Because the entire notion of "two" existing in the first place is impossible. There is only one thing; The totality of all things.

I struggled a lot with solipsism for years since basically having a spiritual experience of it at 20 years old. The days after it, I remember laying on the couch, trembling with fear inside, while my parents left to do groceries, and at that moment I was basically aware that the moment they left my field of experience and I heard the door shut, they didn't exist anymore. It was horrendous and I cried. I didn't help that Leo was starting to explicitly affirm solipsism on the forum at that time. It also didn't help that my mental and physical health worsened the years after and I was contemplating suicide. I tried everything to shed the idea, mostly with trying to delude myself with religious beliefs. But of course nothing helped because nothing can veil the truth once you've seen it. In the end, after much contemplation of all different ways reality could be, if not solipsism; I realized one thing. Reality would be evil if solipsism is not true. And imagining others is the highest love you could have for them. You love them so much that you simply make them up out of thin air. Solipsism is the highest Good. And to be honest, most of this thread is just cope. I know every trick there is to hide solipsism from yourself. In the end solipsism can't be explained away by any theories because Consciousness doesn't abide by any theories. Solipsism and Consciousness don't abide by any theories or stories. It's simply what is here now. All other minds are imagined by what is here right now.

Europe's toxic, chaotic mix of worldviews, including an unstable concoction of premodern, modern and postmodern, collapsed any sense of shared culture and identity. Liberalism is falling, with only the most educated, privileged and decadent staying on it's pure form. Young people are either hard leftist, hard rightist, or have an incoherent, apathic form of late-stage liberalism infect with major amounts of conspiracy thinking. We deserve to fall.

Blackpill ideology is a trap, but there are many truths about it. At the bottom line, Women's suffrage, liberation and economic empowerment sliced the romantic and sexual propects of men in half. And that's just the hard truth about it. The reason men fall in these traps is because nothing is done in education to educate about your prospects as a man. Noone in school tells you that chances are pretty high you're unsuccessful and how to cope with that and still live your life. We are fed propaganda from a young age about love being iffy diffy and that there's a soulmate out there for everyone. Classic Lib mythology.

Owen could have done 2 things since the start of the culture wars in the mid 2010s: Carve out his own niche and seek truth, and guide dating in a healthy balanced way, without all the Russell Brand esque conspiracy matrix bullshit , or ride the MAGA conspiracy wave. He did the 2nd. He has millions and could have taken the high road. Calling it survival is too broad of a categorization. It's greed, insecurity and lack of epistemology. Leo and Peter Ralston could have both started a cult or done something like Owen. They both admitted it that they could do it and make 10x of their current business. Yet they stayed true.

Their guilt makes them insufferable, weak, lib n soy.

Yeah, I just expected wikipedia to be more vulnerable to change when confronted with real research

This dude claims that in his findings, psychic ability has a negative relationship with intelligence, and that the Quran was channelled psychicly by a Persian called Salman: It doesn't help much that he's a Persian nationalist who wants to denounce the developments and high tides of Islam and credit it all to the Persians, but hey, he also seems to have a general interest in psychic phenomena.

Why are you not sharing your military sources with us? Genuine question. I'm still doing the research myself I just don't have that much free time to have done it yet. What's the mindset here?

Except wikipedia and science is supposed to be a book that changes over time as new findings our found and proven, unlike the Bible.

In you guys experience, do the different levels of binaural beats actually work as advertised, with different levels giving different effects like spiritual, cognitive, etc?

I was under the impression that if hard material facts are true and proven over time, and known by enough people, the consensus pushes it through to be on wikipedia. Guess I was wrong, although I still don't understand how, when it is truly proven by enough people, it hasn't seeped through to mainstream consciousness if it's proven to have worked materially. I know wikipedia is the matrix, I just didn't expect the matrix to be so strong to even be able to deny proven things in consensus reality. It's not even like they ignore the issue, the entire article is a whole counternarrative about remote-viewing not being false. You'd expect the Truth to seep through especially now since enough people seem to have already proven it. If wikipedia denies it despite knowing the good research proving otherwise, they are in fact lying.

"US presidents and the highest ranks of the military know that remote viewing is used to gather intelligence." How do you know this. These claims are mind-shattering if true. This means Wikipedia is actively lying to us about empirical facts of the world. But this isn't about spiritual concepts, but about real, consequential material stuff in the real world. If remote-viewing has material consequences, wikipedia should not be denying it. There's a fundamental difference between materialism in the metaphysical sense and materialism in the denial of empirical world-stuff.

Yeah, just read your new blog post, sorry. made an edit to my OG post. Thanks for the extra leads. It's so weird to me that if you're right, than those materialists on wikipedia are actively spreading disinformation by deeming all remote viewing done by the government as a dud. What you're saying is there is real evidence that the army succesfully used it/is using it. If that is true, and that information is public and verifiable (let's assume Leo's research was correct) - It's clear cut evidence that they are literally spreading blatant disinformation on wikipedia. It goes further than denial of consciousness, because that's just because of a lack of consciousness. But denying actual research and facts just to shape a materialist reality for the masses is a true crime. Wikipedia goons' statement on the conclusions of the Stargate program Are the Wikipedia goons really claiming that if each time I snap my fingers, lightning shoots out of my hands, I still haven't proven magic or paranormal stuff? or am I understanding it incorrectly? I know you're not keen on sharing your sources (which again, with all due respect, I think is not a good mindset, all scientists and researchers share their sources, why would you refrain from it purely to teach us a lesson that we should not be lazy) , but those military sources you're talking about are probably hard to find out. If you'd share them, that'd be awesome. If not I guess I'll just have to dig in myself. Still don't see how you found out those military documents and verify their authenticity. Maybe my source-finding capabilities and empirical epistemology aren't that sharpened yet.

@Leo Gura I'm wondering why you said remote viewing is purely genetic and can't be learned. Why do you make that claim so strongly, like you know it for a 100% sure? What's your evidence for that? Moreover, the channel you recommended (Mishlove), and the speakers he invites on there, do not treat remote viewing in that sense at all, but all state it can be learned. This speaker even talked about skeptics coming to his course to debunk remote viewing but finding out that they can do it themselves. EDIT: Nevermind some of what I said, I just read your new post on remote viewing and I guess you do admit that some of it can be learned. Not that that was my stance to begin with, I'm just very interested in your evidence on the stance that it's mostly genetic. I'm really interested in your study of it. I'm making a study of it myself and it's pretty hard, I'm not a formal researcher and my epistemology, openmindedness and skepticism are being heavily tested. I hope you share a research report on your research on remote viewing soon or in the future. Not because I want to not do the work, but because I might miss something myself. I won't be looking at it till I finish my own research anyway. Plus, I think it's not really good scientific practice to gatekeep research in the name of "I'm not lazy like y'all, do your own research". If this is all true, we're up against a horde of materialists who even infiltrated wikipedia to state that the state-led remote viewing projects were all duds. Are they right or is Leo right in deeming it real? What an interesting empirical research question.

So how does that argument translate in your transforming into an alien mouse? did that violate material reality? and if it did, how come your human body still returned because the chemical wore off? That sounds like the alien experience was but a virtual experience, nested in material reality which was still running in the background. Or does taking the trip and doing the transformation actually change reality? If so, why do the limitations of the chemical wearing off still persist?
