"notice that the content of your conciouness is the only thing that's certain".
Tell that to someone with multiple personalities. Tell that to someone who has brain injuries reducing them to a vegetable. Trauma applied to the brain directly and (to an extent) predictably causes changes to the consciousness, making its contents anything but certain.
- RivieraKid 13y agoI think you've misunderstood what I meant. For example, when I see a lion, I can be certain about it. It may be a hallucination and suddenly disappear but that doesn't change anything, I really saw the lion.
- ThomPete 13y agoNo you saw something that you interpret as a lion. Thats a very different thing.
