Comment on People who reject challenging ideas as stupid without engagement are like intellectual nepobabies
SenK@lemmy.ca 21 hours agoIf objective reality doesn’t exist, then your definition of ‘subjective’ is just a consensus-based hallucination you inherited from your own comfort. How do you know your ‘multiverse’ isn’t just a realist’s cage you haven’t recognized yet? Your own argument destroys the premise upon which it rests. Also, what if my subjective experience includes what I would characterize as objective reality? You would be imposing your own definition on to me, again destroying your own premise.

Do you want to argue so that we can both learn from each other or do you want to argue so you can change My mind?

Neither. I just enjoy picking apart philosophical arguments.

Alright, well I’m happy to engage with that. I know it’s not a realist’s cage because I’m actively maintaining My subjective world and making choices about what to believe on a daily and weekly and yearly basis. I’m being an active agent in a way that realists don’t. They let society tell them what is objectively true. I don’t care about that, I’m asking Myself what is useful to believe.

How do you define what a realist cage is without being informed by objective reality?
