i dont get it what do you mean consciousness does not exist? if consciousness didnt exist in your world then how did you become conscious all of a sudden?? thats the only thing about it that sounds like bs to me.. but i am aware there are plenty of alternate universes for i have died and came into a differant alternate a few times within this incarnation but always came to the next nearest reality to the one i was in before so it was practically the same place only slightly varied.. explain to me how you have no consciousness?

Hi.

This is because you cannot perceive anything directly.

You can only be aware of the relationships, like comparing one thing to another.

When you're perceiving the Sun, for example, you're actually perceiving yourself, not how the Sun actually is. (This isn't new age talk. It's scientific 'fact')

And so it's the same when you're perceiving anything else.

The awareness is an illusion. We can't really be aware of something.

It's a lot deeper than this, but that's the general idea.

I know where this shill is coming from! Exactly promoting and spamming these false solipsistic lies everywhere on the internet, also on facebook, skeptic forums and philosophyforums.

Scientific Fact? OHHH BOY, and not a single person here questions this??? No, when you perceive the sun you don't actually perceive another you, you ACTUALLY perceive the SUN. outside of you. get over it SHILL.

What makes me mad is that everyone here is passive and not a SINGLE person question any of these absurd solipsistic statements of this person, and some other sockpupppets here.

Thanks for the interaction and light entertainment this morning.

But in fact you DO NOT perceive the sun, photons on your retina activate the optic nerve which causes your occipital lobe to render your version of the sun.

If the above image is shown to a child, they report seeing only dolphins, they don't have the context to render the image embedded. In that regard perception is a representation of ourselves (our context, beliefs, language)

But taking it a step further, the evolutionary model predicts there is a zero percent chance we perceive reality as it is, and instead have evolved to maximize fitness.

Donald Hoffman is a religious advaita follower who have no understanding whatsoever of the physics of vision.
HOWEVER, even if what he claims was true, that still has nothing to do with what the sockpuppet mom's basement troll "Chaol" said, that when you see the sun, if you look deep, you see some "self", and.not the sun particles and its light, and etc, and claimed it's scientific 😂😂😂. No it's not scientific, it doesn't even make sense.
