Part of me is becoming tired of "brain in a jar" lines of reasoning, because there can be no other side of the discussion by default. If there is, I'm a Citizen

Part of me is becoming tired of "brain in a jar" lines of reasoning, because there can be no other side of the discussion by default. If there is, I'm a Citizen who would like to know more.
- solipsism 13y agoWhat sides are you talking about? Either the line of reasoning (whichever you're talking about) has flaws or it doesn't. If you're trying to say "it leads nowhere", I sort of agree. But it only "leads nowhere" once you get to the acceptance that truth is subjective. Getting that far is worth it and can change the way a person thinks about many other things.
- drdeadringer 13y agoYes, I'm trending toward "it leads nowhere". To me, it's like trying to prove a negative: "prove you aren't a brain in a jar, receiving electrical//chemical inputs instead of walking around in a body". Well, right down to it, I can't just as much as you can't. > So truth is subjective, knowing that is worth it, and getting that far is awesome. Agreed.
