Ideas and images from a post on the "i09" weblog 8 Great Philosophical Questions That We'll Never Solve
I found a post titled "8 Great Philosophical Questions That We'll Never Solve" It was from the i09 weblog. I decided to share my ideas about these questions. Let me know what you think.
"...how do we know that what we see around us is the real deal, and not some grand illusion perpetuated by an unseen force."
-George Dvorsky
Maybe I am the only thing that is real, while everything else is only an illusion!
It's too strange for me to believe that my whole experience of life is not real but I can't prove it.
True. How do we know?
ReplyDeleteHow do we know that our reality is more real than our dreams?
I know. How can we be 100% sure?
DeleteI do believe that our perception is our reality, but I truly hope that my dreams aren't... they seem to be scrambled events and pieces of life that are a bit psychotic. I read somewhere that when we dream, our minds are no longer in control and we become part of an universal consciousness. If this is true, the universal consciousness is very confusing...
ReplyDeleteIt confuses me too.
DeleteI usually just assume that things outside of my mind are real.
