    My view is that we may not necessarily know or agree on reality itself or religion but we can agree on following a materialist analysis as it clearly has predictive power and people who suffer materially need a material solution

    The only things that are not real that people think is real are time and space, especially space.

    An illusion is when an object that is thought to have a certain shape,
    turning out to have a very different shape and that usually means that
    what one thinks it is seeing a solid three-dimensional object, it in reality is
    just mere “smoke and mirrors”.

    The moment you try and touch the object with your hand, your hand goes right through it.
    Now one needs to use objects to create such an illusion, and those objects are real,
    it’s the object that’s perceived to be real that isn’t.

    Space is not an illusion, but it is misdefined as having the properties of an object
    therefore turning something that merely conceptual as something that is real.
    Yet even the most prominent scientists of today are too daft to realize this simple thing
    and actually think that space is real and define it having dimensions.

    And they define it as such: “You can travel through it three-dimensionally,
    therefore it has three dimensions.”

    While it may look like space has three dimensions, it doesn’t.
    It doesn’t the same way mathematics doesn’t have
    any place-value notation as a property of mathematics.
    Sure, you can use the decimal system in mathematics,
    but you based that on the number of fingers you have.
    It’s not a property of mathematics, it’s just the preferred system we use.
    And the same goes with space. Our body has three dimensions,
    therefore we think space does but in reality space has no dimensions.

    Dimensions are defined as the limits to where an object stops being.
    Your length, height and width are the limits to how much you are.
    You are not defined by how much an object can travel through you.

    Space is not an aquarium with imaginary glass panes and infinite volume,
    that auto-magically get an extra set of panes the moment one of the fish that swim in it
    suddenly grows a new set of limbs that protrude into the next dimension.

    Space is nothing. It is zero-dimensional as it has no height, no width and no length
    and therefore is not real in the same sense that you and me are.
    And thought of space having such qualities is the ultimate illusion.

    Nothing is real. Nothing matters. There is no man in the clouds judging your goon session. There is no inherent meaning to our existence. So the only things that are real and the only things that matter are what you do.

    I’ve been through pretty much every stage shown here and now I’m firmly in the “I don’t know” camp. It feels like I’ll be here until I’m dead, tbh. Not that it matters (maybe).
