>>11670626I am able to point out, but I choose not to because from previous experience I know that when I do you will misconstrue it and then engage me into a super long debate by putting some of my ego at stake (like you're trying to do now, and even though this is an anonymous board) and the objective will be to just see who gets the last post and claim "victory".
Can you see how I came to the conclusion that isn't worth my time?
You've recognized this series of posts as a battle and you're in it for the long haul. Even if at some point I do make sense to you, you wouldn't admit it, becuase you would lose "face". It all comes back to the strong ego in your posts, which is why I said it reminds me of myself.
I mean look at your last post. The only purpose it serves is to construct this narrative, where you're some logical paragon who is smarter than everyone and unraveled this whole issue with a super basic analytic argument based on the meanings of words, and no one can challenge you and we're all just jealous. You're basically proving me right when i said that everyone thinks they are 100% logical. I mean come on dude.
Yeah I'm being overly sincere to the point of oversharing my true thoughts on 4chan internet debates, disheartening to see how its received. This will be my last post.
To humor you, your first post hinges on defining "reality" as "that which is real", so therefore you conclude that saying that reality is an illusion is a contradiction. But its circular. Your conclusion follows from how you yourself defined the word in the first place. You're basically saying "Reality is real because reality means real." Its comical, logically speaking. Obviously what people mean by OP's statement is that the observable world of phenomenon, which most refer to as "reality" is not real. That's why your argument amounts to just semantics and circular reasoning.
Now go ahead and make your response I guess, I'm not going to stick around for the fruitless "debate".
