>has become

Has been and continues to be.

@Tfmonkey here's the imagery my brain came up with to describe it.

@Tfmonkey le dismemberment

@Tfmonkey NO MOM I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE VET MOOOM COME ON IM FINE MOM

@Tfmonkey Every once in a while you get a downie baby. Such is life.

@Tfmonkey i know. It's something particular to your body and lifestyle. It's fortunate I don't need to live that way.

First word that comes to mind: genocide.

@Tfmonkey Calories in vs calories out. There is no miscommunication.

@Tfmonkey
>none of you have the desire or capacity to have the actual conversation
>I stopped responding to everyone.
>pat yourselves on the back for wasting my time.

Wow

TFM: willingly posts something publicly open for people to discuss
Also TFM: none of you can handle my galaxy brain, you're all wasting my time with your responses reeeeeee

I'll repeat: you are the architect of your own suffering.

@zebuceta @Tfmonkey Being open to unfalsifiable, not proven hypotheses, does not mean anything as far as daily life is concerned. I don't believe in alternative realities because there's no reason to. Same with god. It's a cute idea. No reason to believe it's real.

@Tfmonkey

@Tfmonkey Ah, as I expected. It would've devolved into word magic to justify the claim of "all." Back patted, thanks.

@37712 @Tfmonkey @RoninGrey i don't need to be tagged in here. I've said my piece and am waiting for monke to address my rebuttal before saying anything further.

@Tfmonkey this is a rebuttal to your claim that a "false sense of I" is the cause of "all" my suffering. Clearly not all.

@Tfmonkey Good answers.

@Tfmonkey
What's your answer to the standard trolley question?

@Tfmonkey I suffer because I am a human with a corporeal existence in a world that challenges my ability to remain alive. Existing in and of itself is suffering, regardless of any word games about the "I."

@Tfmonkey This is all well and good for incessant bickering over thinking and word games about thinking and whose thinking is the thinkiest thinking, but all I care about with regard to philosophy is pragmatic "thinking." Is this world real? I have no reason to assume otherwise, so I'll "assume" it is. Am i, as a thinker, an individual or a hive mind? I don't care. It's a waste of time to consider anything other than I as an individual because my whole life is I. Therefore I am.

@Tfmonkey Thinking occurs, therefore entity capable of it exists.
