WARNING: you don't exist
This one is for naturalist.atheist. I mean who or, what is he doing speculating on the nature of what things are?

Re: WARNING: you don't exist
Sure, if he were just speaking from the standpoint of trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. But, judging by the video itself and, the tone of his voice, I would say no, he doesn't come across that way.

Re: WARNING: you don't exist
Or, maybe the fact we exist or, think that we exist, is just a big joke? I'm sure that it is to at least one or two of us.

Re: WARNING: you don't exist
From oblivion is whence we came, and oblivion is thence we go. So, how do we know that there was anything "real" in-between?
That is a better image by the way, it looks more wholesome ... more like the girl in the video.

I can't even imagine asking that question. Whatever I experience is reality to me. I don't care if it's really real or whatever.

Re: WARNING: you don't exist
Eh, that's what one of the guys said in the video, that the only thing real to us is what we experience. Of course that implies that we are conscious and aware and living in "the now" which, they questioned whether it really existed or not either.

And the simplest answer is another question, "Who cares?" Are you experiencing something? Then that's your reality.
All this other stuff is just naval gazing...interesting to think about sometimes, kinda.

Re: WARNING: you don't exist
Well, did you click on the other button? Or, maybe that's the whole point, that it's all in your head? I honestly don't know?
I'm kind of glad that it wasn't there (I didn't click on it myself), because it meant that they were more serious about the discussion, at least to me.

Well, it bloody well is all in my head now, isn't it! Anyway, I wasn't being serious here.

Oh, they touched on that too, the nature of which experiences are more fruitful (enjoyable) and productive ... that we should strive for what we find enjoyable, so long as it doesn't come back and smack us in the face. I think these are questions that we all have to ask ourselves.

While admittedly, much of it seemed rather silly or, in excess, it looked like they were having fun anyway.

Actually, this question only arises (its implications) when we are hard set on attaining oblivion when we die. Neither did they touch on this much in the video, for they said they were more interested in exploring it from a scientific standpoint.
