What is your basic epistemology?

[Anton Rogachevski]

How can you know anything? What does it mean for you to "know"? Knowing what? 

And following that: What is real? What do you mean by "reality"? Does it exist? What does it mean for something to "exist"?

How can you know that logic can depict or describe or predict the fundamental nature of reality?

mate , these are good questions that only you can answer for Yourself. I do have my own answers but you're not gonna like them .

All I know is I AM

from that starting point it's about making as few assumptions as possible .

thats metaphysics anyway, in the relational world I'm not quite as strict .

Ive found that im seeing why spiral dynamics green is deficient. Because it relativizes everything and makes it harder to tell low from high consciousness sources. Yellow introduces the ability to start distinguishing low from high, and it does seem to be more of an intuitive ability of consciousness than a rational one.

Knowing is the sensation of truth. Truth is what persists. Logic constructs truth from truth.

Dissect it into three questions:

-what is "knowing "?

-is knowing even possible? 

-if it is possible what are the methods by which you can know stuff?  Be careful not to speculate but actually come up with examples of stuff you "think " you know in your life and describe how do you know them .

Well..real can't be reduced to something more fundamental like words or definitions. It's just reality .I can't give you a definition.

You'd first have to figure out if things exist out there objectively or just as qualia .

It can't. 

[ExploringReality]

I don't know anything, I don't know how I can know. I want to know Truth for Truths sake. I want to figure out and understand what reality is. I sense there is something deeper to discover and Awaken to. I am fascinated by reality. What the fuck is anything? 

This is my epistemology.

@Someone here That's great! Thanks!

@ExploringReality ❤️ same

Interesting thought, but it's a paradox. If you had truth why would you need to construct it again?

Yes but actually no .its these kind of questions which cannot be answered by "others" .only by you . You are asking the most fundamental questions that the human mind can ask and you are treating it like a chit chat in a Café between drunk teenagers. 

I did analyse your questions a bit and gave you guidelines but you ignored em.

 Honestly i don't know the answers i dont actually know anything anymore which is really has always been the case but i needed to just face it head on and accept it .Often times I suddenly get hit with the realization that I’m alive.. and that this absurd and baffling world is real.. and it freaks me out to levels I can’t describe

You should look more into absurdism. The idea that existence is irrational and meaningless and the search for understanding will put you into conflict with nature.

[Anton Rogachevski]

@Someone here Why do you think that I ignored? You have great insight and I appreciate that you shared it.

I like absurdism, but I don't think that it goes deep enough.

[Someone here]

@Anton Rogachevski your tone doesn't strike me as "serious "lol. Maybe I'm being the cringey one by making a big deal out of these questions..idk..and for you there'd be no point in actually getting an answer .

No one can give you the bottom line of life. And you know this. So you're not going to get any satisfaction asking yourself or others over and over a question for which there is no answer. All it does is lead you to dwell on it and make yourself more depressed and frustrated.

[Anton Rogachevski]

@Someone here The problem is that I do think I know, but it's quite complicated to explain. You can read in my blog in the signature.

Having truth is to rewrite the unwritten. 

[Anton Rogachevski]

What is "truth"? Do you know it?

Consciousness / sensation in the present moment. That's all there is. That's god , but I have little experience in the domain of God consciousness . I assume there's a kind of God bigger than what I've experienced .
