My meaning has been very clear
It’s ok, reason doesn’t exist for you anyway

A leftoid (thus inherently devoid of reason) completely missing the point of my comment, very nice

I mean, anyone can come up with these sorts of low effort posts

Up is down and left is right for the person in chaos. Of course.

>I don’t care nigger
Of course you don’t. Chaos is all you “know”.
>you think philosophy will help you
It does. And that’s an opinion I personally and truly agree with. Not just because someone else said so.
Just because someone came up with another idea doesn’t mean I need to reject it and come up with my own. I can use my own mind to judge if I agree. This still involves me as a person.
>lmao you know nothing
Chaos is all there is for you. Why are you talking about “knowing” as though that’s a thing if chaos is all there is?

It won’t hurt you. It’s good for you.
(Also do get this particular compilation. It’s quite good. Best 80 dollars I ever spent.)

Actually for that matter, if chaos is natural, why bother with logic? All of that is order and therefore unnatural and arbitrary.
Why bother with proper sentence structure? That’s just more unnatural and arbitrary stuff. You I and to me.

To observe a regular pattern requires order. If chaos is ultimately all there is, there is no order and therefore no pattern to observe. And your little talk about “little order in a universe of chaos” then makes no sense. Where does that “little order” come from then? Thin air? Hopes and dreams coming from huffing enough unicorn dust?

Ok. So science is impossible, since there can be no order. For that matter, forget about perception, since everything becomes incomprehensible mental mush and soup.

Do what you call the “laws of physics” change at anyone’s whim and fancy? How does that work?
Why is there consistently regular causation throughout the ages, then? Wouldn’t saying that order is natural be the most parsimonious explanation?

>nature is chaos
I wonder why we keep observing regular patterns in nature that everyone else can see
I also wonder what is your explanation for that

>theosophy
Ngl that sounds kind of cringe and subversive
Also, chaos is merely the absence of order and evil is merely the absence of good, there is no “duality” between chaos/order and good/evil

On the surface it reads like a bizarre mix of Manichaeism and Traditionalism
Yeah no, I’m sticking to my Plato, thanks but no thanks

I’m not sure if that whole website is a shitpost or actually real, hard to tell these days
I’m leaning towards the former until I receive some sort of confirmation

I’m actually genuinely interested to hear what alternative you have in mind

A common objection to any sort of idealism is "If idealism is true and materialism is false, why then do changes to our brains affect our mental states? Mind must therefore be something physical." After all, this sounds very intuitive on the surface level because it agrees with our "common intuitions", which also shuts down most attempts to reason through the statement.
Let's then take a look at the claim "Mind must be material, since changes to the brain affect our mental states". Already I see a problem. This claim takes it for granted that this brain that a person is observing with his eyes is really existent. In other words, this material brain is a thing-in-itself and there is no deeper reality. But is what our senses perceive really all there is?
Quantum physics has shown that perception is not to be trusted, since even the act of measurement changes the thing being measured. There is also no reason why our sense-perception should be able to tell us the full truth of the matter from an evolutionary standpoint (which most materialists believe anyway). Usefulness in relation to survival is after all not the same thing as seeing the truth. If anything, there are many instances why falsehood is ultimately more conducive to survival. If anything, it may even be harmful, since the world out there by itself may be too much for the animal to take in so there is a need to distort things for the sake of simplicity. And there is entropy. If entropy is ever-increasing in the world and the material is all there is, how do we have that one-ness of experience? How are we even able to experience a single object in the first place? If the material world is all there is, then our mental states would mirror that material world and would thus suffer dispersion due to entropy.
All of this taken together means there is no reason to treat the material as all there is. There is then no reason to think that the thing causing brain damage really is material. For that matter, there is also no reason for us to think of the material brain as being really what is there.

It’s not at all a problem for idealism, but something intractable for materialists

>idealism = making things up
Hardly the case
Also, observation is hardly “objective”

Empiricism is not any less arbitrary though, it also has even less explanatory power than say, idealism
