/sci/ - Science & Math

Everyone is solipsist, because we have no way to observe someone else's consciousness.

How do I know you're not a robot?

>everyone is a solipsist
hurrr

>>5822382
because I'm a cat

>>5822382

You don't.

>>5822385
>no argument

I'll take it that you agree

>>5822392

Now that's EDGY

>>5822392
But it's true, it's impossible to know

You don't have to be acting profound, that's just a matter of fact.

>>5822392
philosophy is about what you can know, not what you can't.

>>5822375

Because the solipsist project defeats itself by posturing that the stream of thoughts is the result of one's own mind as opposed to an infinite number of consistent propositions in which said stream of thoughts is created by anything BUT one's own mind.

If you believe in many-worlds, you are a solipsist. The only version that makes sense is many-minds, and the other minds in that theory have no effect on your own, so they should be discarded like the Bohmian trajectories.

Philosopher's face is epic. Seems like a nice guy to hang out and smoke weed with.

>>5822399

I do what I can, not what I can't.

all you can do is cry and shit your pants.

Science is essentially philosophy.

>philosophy

Please keep your "u cannot know nuthin" anti-intellectualism out of the science board.

>>5822407

Only when I've had too much tequila.
Whatsamatter bunky, lose an argument with a female philosophy major?

>>5822406
I've never seen anyone link to /lit/ before

why does sci hates philosophy?

>>5822406
majoring in it is ridiculous, but is not including it at all any better?

>>5822404
Confirmed robot

My point is that your first sentence is self-defeating.

Cf. Wittgenstein's Private Language Argument. Do you really think you're just talking to yourself?

>>5822410
Because it's anti-intellectual.

>>5822416
No, it isn't. Science and "u cannot know nuthin" are incomptabile.

>>5822422

>>5822414
Are you joking?

it's not debatable. The point of philosophy is that you can't know anything beyond what is observable. It's not anti-intellectualism, it's just a fucking fact

>>5822422
>Because it's anti-intellectual.
made me giggle/10

Philosophy is useless and anti-scientific. Please go back to >>>/lit/ and stop trolling /sci/.

>>5822434
No one is trying to be profound, it's just stating the obvious. Quit being a fucking idiot

>>5822434
None of those things are being discussed, because it was never meant to occlude science.

Because I don't like the taste of any seafood.
