    Objective reality doesn’t exist, and that’s a good thing, because it means our entire universe is subjective, and therefore, malleable to our perceptions. It means that with a big enough idea and a mind on which to balance it, we can move the earth.

      I think, therefore I am. An objective reality exists, because you exist. The question is, how much of reality can you perceive, and to what limit?

            That’s because you’re afraid to have an intellectually honest discussion with someone who disagrees with you. It’s easier to pretend people who disagree with you don’t exist.

            The fact that the self is an illusion is not a new idea. Surely you’ve heard of it. But you’d rather pretend that I don’t believe in it than to have an actual conversation considering its implications.

            Western neurotypicals are so very concerned with ego. It’s unhealthy.

                Can you show me a moment of this discussion when I was “obnoxious” from before you insulted me? Cause I wanted to have an actual discussion, and you’re saying you do as well, but what you’re saying would be hard to believe if you were the first one to throw an insult in place of a discussion.
