You are a human being - that is a fact. But you insist, you are not an empirical real thing? That is madness. If you are a fake, anyone can get rid of you and throw into the trash can? Death, you have never known death. If you know death, you'll have to wait until you die to be able to tell yoursel...

Is only means something if there is contrast of what "is not". If "is" means everything than you are falling under the fallacy of equivocation. Note, In Linguistics (Grammar) In English grammar, a copula is also called a linking verb. It connects the subject of a sentence to a s...

The apple is a nebulous idea, it's not actually real. Is a plastic or a wooden apple real, what is a real apple, but a fixed concept known, who or what knows the fixed concept that is apple? The answer is clear, awareness that is not an object does, the object known, in and of itself knows nothing ...

No wonder we are caught in a loop because you are blind-sighted by biasness. No, conscious awareness is anything but blind, it is the pure Light that is aliveness. Bias pertains only to a self. Aliveness has no self, does a tree have a self. Self is a nebulous concept that you are trying to fix as ...

If you are a fake, anyone can get rid of you and throw into the trash can? Is a plastic human a real human? Define a real human? what's a human made of, exactly? No wonder we are caught in a loop because you are blind-sighted by biasness. I have already answered the above, here again; https://forum...

In theism, it is one-track, my way or the highway. You are still stuck in the mental maze of belief, where you as infinite awareness are imagining you are a separate 'me' who is far removed from the clarity of your actual real being which is infinite, one without a second, pure unborn awareness imm...

I never said whether or not to cut them, can we build the pyramids to the same dimensions with the same materials currently? No, our knowledge base is not that powerful...we are not that advanced. Knowledge is relative. Advancements are relative. You are so ignorant just as your thinking regarding ...

"Is" is distinct from "is not". "Is" is a distinction. Can you counter the argument points above instead of just looping. One can put a 'not' to anything. But in putting, there must be 'existing' before there can be 'putting'. 'Is' is just 'be' or 'exist'. Just be and ...

Not sure where you are going with the above. A theist is a real empirical human being. It is not a mental construct like Santa Claus or God. A human being is a concept known. It's not an empirical real thing. It's actually a nebulous construct of the mind. Where is the empirical mind that construct...

If "is" is indistinct than it cannot depict anything as it is a meaningless term. Meaningless? "Is" is the most meaningful term in reality. If you see the word 'apple', it is just pixels on a screen, on paper or a voice, which are meaningless in reality. However, this is an appl...

That apple is real when it is verified to be objectively real by the science-biology system. Common sense can verify an apple is real, but its objectivity is low, say 40/100 compare to science which is 99/100. The apple is a nebulous idea, it's not actually real. Is a plastic or a wooden apple real...

Yes. Beyond experience of real and not real, there is no necessity for real or unreal as both concepts are superimposed upon emptiness by emptiness. monks in Asia spend decades searching for said emptiness... -Imp Did the monks eventually find the emptiness they were searching for, or are the monks...

My view is that of scientific anti-realism. If the universal objective of science is to look via physical empirical experiment to tell them what is true or real, what can anti-realism possibly mean, exactly? I mean what doesn't exist, what is not observable, what cannot be, already doesn't exist in...

I am discussing with an empirical person with an identity as long as that person is alive and capable of discussion. Say I am discussing with A face to face. I am discussing with an empirical person with an identity A. He exist as real as long as A is alive and capable of discussion. If A suddenly ...

This is why the end game of theism is eternal life in heaven or paradise or continue to live somewhere out there after physical death; this is so evident with the majority. But this is an assumption. Who or what is making that assumption? A theist is simply a mental construct, so can a construct th...
