    i know that any example I could give could be argued against, and I really don’t wanna dive into that because it has no end.

    like I said, the only thing anyone knows for sure is that they’re experiencing something, call it consciousness or whatever. however, that is not a great example of fact vs fiction, and this isn’t a philosophy debate sub, so I tried to keep it simple.

    there are better examples, but I’m just trying to explain a simple concept, not get into the bottomless argument of philosophical truth






  • people created the ideas of countries, then made a list of them. USA is on that list.

    if you really want to get philosophical about it, you can say the only fact that anyone knows for sure is that they are experiencing something. Nobody knows for sure that everyone else in the world isn’t an NPC, nor whether this world is real or a hallucination.

    I’m trying to keep it simple for the purposes of this argument
