What if am not seeking to convince myself?

Don't worry man... In reality everything is a lie

No need to convince anyone... just sit comfey in that ideal

No worries, thanks.

"...In reality everything is a lie...".
Bold statement, no?
What can you show, that would convince us that that is a true statement?

Please specify, what ideal are you suggesting that we are sitting-in?

The only thing that you can know for sure is that you are...............but what are you?

Hiya IINA.
Am feeling respect and honor. Not sure why?

Appreciate your post, as have appreciated many in the whatever past.
You are a thought-provoker, and that is enjoyed muchly here.

How might we, (me), be more gentle, in inviting others to question their beliefs?
It feels like a struggle sometimes, to not injure another's ego.
Sometimes, we may put extra effort into a post, to not injure.
Not always. Perhaps sometimes we, (me), act like pricks, or trolls?

Do you have any ideas, about how we, (me), could do better?

If we consider gentleness now, then there is a perhaps a perception of gentleness now, no?

The video may well answer the question.
No one can do better!

Had not seen vid that before.
Thanks for the offer, and the vid was very much appreciated.

Resonated here as an attempted honest observation.
How much more should we do? Could?
What do should and could imply?

Here: maybe we are examining beliefs?
Am tiring a little bit.
Goodnight.

Life is happening just as it is................there actually isn't anyone that can do it different......there is just what is.

The first belief is that you are someone........is that belief true?
Maybe the first belief is the original sin (the missing of the mark)?

My theory is there is a deliberate attempt to undermine the basis of modern western society by rejecting the values of the Enlightenment. Fascist states embrace pseudoscience. Stalin promoted Lysenkoism and Nazi Germany was replete with bizarre occult "theories." We must not let unreason win.

You trust your observations, and that seems to be what most do.

Yes, those that don't are what is called delusional.

Some know they are so they don't trust their observations because it may be their own mind playing tricks.


Some don't know and are convinced that the majority are all delusional and they see the truth.

Quite an odd thing to say,

Do you not trust your own observations, when you see a person saying a friendly hello when you arrive at work or something there abouts you put your head down and act like you may be hallucinating?

Ok: so you have admitted to sometimes accepting NASA. How is that not a belief?

a belief is very vague, it can be formed with no reason whatsoever or with very convincing reason.


acceptance usually required some sort of reason and logic and it is not accepting or agreeing with a claim if there is no reasonable though applied and logical path that leads to the acceptance or agreement.

Can you make that a little clearer? Not sure what it means?
Thank you.

a reply to: Itisnowagain

well everything in the universe that we know of , is made up from our thoughts!

the fact that we humans have derived a self , from thought alone
is pretty interesting

like identity , the self !
all based from thought alone

a belief that there is a self !
a self made from thought

Ok so there is a test that anyone can do , provided you have at least 4 miles of uninterrupted flat terrain ,

so according to the maths , For an observer standing on the ground with h = 1.70 metres (5 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi).

So say on a flood plain a beach or a desert , or farmers fields

just make sure its flat , tell your friend to stand in the open the right distance away , then use a telescope to see them
and if the earth is flat you should see the entire human from feet to the top of their head.

If its curved you should only see their upper body or top of their head

Lets go do it , cmon !

no deserts here in Scotland unfortunately

here is a list of straight flat roads in the world !

someone somewhere near these roads should test this !

Americans Im looking at you , as you have some of the flatest land in the world !

longest straightest roads in the world

a reply to: Itisnowagain

i cannot find a follow up on the internet

why ?

did they fail to get the result they wanted ?

a reply to: Itisnowagain

perfect !

thats exactly the type of place im talking about , I have found one place in Scotland I can test this , on Balmedia Beach in Aberdeen

its 22km long and relatively flat enough I can test it

I will travel there soon and post my findings

a reply to: Nothin

prove it

a reply to: Nothin

A pilot's license. Anyone in the middle class who was interested in doing it could verify it.

So you won't trust science that tells us. You won't trust someone who has actually experience and verified it.

You trust Youtubers.

Got it.
