I've been feeling really confused
I've been thinking about non-dualism , the egg theory and ego death. (do look it up if you do not know about it much, it's very interesting). The part I'm having trouble with and am confused about , does it mean that we should treat each other like it's a different version of you ? I've been trying to love everyone around me and to love people that may not be that good people objectively which is really hard to do. I'm not sure if this should be done or not...

I dont think we need to love every1 just understanding where the are coming from is enough. i have had an annoying friend before he disrespected me multiple times i passed even tho i was capable of making him look real bad. but i got to a point where i got angry. i never get angry. So i punched him in the face real hard. he didnt even fight back. thats when i realized that he was playing tough this whole time cuz he used to get bullied alot back then. we were randomly talking about him with his friend i only said nice things about him luckily he told him. And we became good friends after. What im trying to say is 90% of people are genuinely nice people when u know their back story. that doesnt mean ur not supposed to hurt them some times thats the only way
Can we be saved?
I constantly think about how many things people do daily that is just brain numbing and useless, like even I have problems with scrolling if I have a gap in my day, so many people don’t care that they are eating poison that companies make just because they want money, they don’t care about the health of their customers they want money, and half of the ppl I talk to ignore these facts or like they will refuse to be active and they go to McDonald’s every day and just sit and rot and they obsess over internet celebs instead of living irl, I know multiple people like this and when you mention something to them they act like your the crazy one and that it’s not that deep , they can’t even read 2 pages of a book without being board or can’t sit still and do something outside , they are depressed but will not do anything to help themselves. Can this be fixed or is this too big and we are all just gonna be dumb and fat and filled with cancer?

Thats honestly a Huge problem First i believe u must change ur self first before giving advice(i dont mean u idk u) and when u give advice u need to be careful of hurting some1s feeling and u need to know what drives them to change there is 6 drivers .1 Significant 2.growth 3.Love 4.certainty 5. uncertainty 6.Contribution(giving). u need to identify that person driver learning psychology will help u alot i encourage that. It will really help u change others to the better. where to learn honestly im still not that deep into it i watch some podcasts so see what ever fits u

@Will Bradley yea its kinda annoying how every1 understands what we say in their own way thats why i feel like learning psychology is very important
Solipsism, how you will solve it?
I don´t know how much serius i need to be for posting, but here we go. English is not my best lenguage, so try to be patient :D. I feel pretty amazed by the solypsism problem and how to solve it. Descartes Couldn´t solve it without refuting himselft —arguing that the reason couldn´t be trust, and yet, creating a whole sistem by it and saw God by it; the famous cartesian Circle—, staying at the idea of: if you couldn´t think of something, it wouldnt be yours, nor from god himselft. Schoppenhauer Couldn´t prove it completly, he say that the only way to have an normal life, with useful thougs, is to believe that others could feel the same way we do, by comparing our behavior; defining that everything would be of one will. So the question is: how you would solve solypsism ? Maybye a stupid question, but i think is good to open this section more. Pd: I use some simplyfications for the simple fact I´m still on the classic philosophers, barely stepping on Schoppenhauer and olympic skiping Kant (some info, yet no his books), and I assume this chanel would be pretty good on this themes. Also, I didn´t thought that my aplication would be public, sorry!

@Ernst Enrique Werner talking about these topics kinda fries my brain. I guess we cant really prove it. Anyways what do u mean u see pitch black in ur dreams? for me i see like exactly real life i hear everything i feel everything its almost like real life but something is kinda lost idk what its. i have searched about that thought thing i talked to some people online i discovered that every1s brain works a little different some people rely on talking alot in their heads. Some people like to imagine more. Extra And the mind blowing thing is not every1 can imagine or hear things in their minds. Its very weird to think about that or how they even live. Me personally i can do it all very good(Feel, Hear, Smell, See, Taste). What about u?

@Ernst Enrique Werner i have wrote alot but my pc crashed what ever. woow How do u live 😂 Man? when ur meeting an improtant person dont u imagine the interactions before hand? And dont u evaluate an interaction u had with some1 before by imagining how it went? how do u control ur thoughts? sorry if im asking too much😅But i cant imagine not being able to imagine. I 1 time dreamed of a huge spider that bit my hand i woke up with strong pain in my hand that lasted for 2 mins it was scary yet fun experience. Another time i dreamed of a black scary looking dog i woke up. And that dog was in front of me looking into my eyes. it was soo real. i got scared and went to the kitchen to drink some water. And then i realized that it was 1 of my stupid imaginations. And about the math thing even that i imagine the equations before writing them. Anyway have a great day i will look into the people u listed
ethics and whats right or wrong
hello people have u ever thought about ethics in a very logical way what makes something wrong or right its weird cuz all of us know whats wrong and whats right but we cant say for sure why so. for exp why is walking in public with only a boxer wrong or why is eating dogs wrong theres no answer to these questions thats why i think the best thing to do is to follow a religion cuz thinking about everything logically will not lead u to an answer it will just lead u to nothing has meaning cuz it all dies

@Jesse Nicasio yea religion definitely gives a peace of mind And something about science and the brain is that we only touched the surface of the brain till now with all this technology we still dont know what pain actually is or how the brain understands there must be sadness right now so lets release the sadness chemical or even how that chemical make us sad i really love arguing with people about their different opinions cuz when i dive deeper into this i find that even atheists get their sense of belonging to a community by believing the same thing its like a religion they follow even if they dont call it that even lgbtq+ if u even talk just a little badly about that topic infront of 1 of them they might instantly block u cuz u touched their belief root(ik that from experience 😂 i didnt even mean to hurt its feeling). honestly thats so fascinating

@Will Bradley I agree with everything except the walking naked part walking naked indirectly affects others badly And i think epistein is enough example already😂
