i. Infinite amount of information on the internet, how do you know is substantial and reflective of what exists, vs that which is not substantial, and thus illusory and do not exist?
ii. Favorite news site… how does the host or site-owner know how to discern reality from illusion?
iii. What method do you use to validate the contents of your mind?
Philosophic Corruption of Reality
The Fallacy of Authority
i. Vs. appeal to authority
ii. Amptsprache
Solipsism ( /ˈsɒlɨpsɪzəm/) is the philosophical idea that only one’s own mind, alone, is sure to exist. The term comes from Latinsolus (alone) and ipse (self). Solipsism as an epistemological position holds that knowledge of anything outside one’s own mind is unsure. The external world and other minds cannot be known, and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist. Although the number of individuals sincerely espousing solipsism has been small, it is not uncommon for one philosopher to accuse another’s arguments of entailing solipsism as an unwanted consequence, in a kind of reductio ad absurdum. In the history of philosophy, solipsism has also served as a skeptical hypothesis.
iii. Self-responsibility
iv. Milner and Zimbardo
2/3 or more of the “good people” we’re surrounded by can be turned into murderers simply by an authority figure and the individual’s unwillingness to think and ask questions to ascertain truth.
v. Moral relativism / there is no objective truth / negation of cause and effect
vi. Eugenics / violation of the volition of others / playing God
Authority is the replacement for your sense of right and wrong
Solutions
Root Cause: People believe things that are not true. (by understanding the problems, the solutions become known)
Recognize our default settings are in need of change
We all adopted beliefs as part of a long-term indoctrination
Beliefs are only ½ way to knowledge… and should be construed as just that
Intellectual Self-Defense
Habit
Herd Mentality
Grown in Terrariums, Exploited like animals, individual capabilities subverted and plundered for the sake of illusory “group” like the “state”.
Use of force, fraud, aggression, and coercion to manipulate others
Human nature is good, most people act morally, most people obey laws, which means that they are honest, and given they are honest, laws are unnecessary b/c criminals to not obey laws.
i. Yet, irrational thinkers have traditionally cast humanity as irrational and therefore they justify controlling and manipulating others.
