Apparently? You keep making philosophical assertions.
You don’t get to assert your philosophical views and then say, “I’m not interested is discussing philosophy” to avoid examination and criticism of those views.
i know that any example I could give could be argued against, and I really don’t wanna dive into that because it has no end.
like I said, the only thing anyone knows for sure is that they’re experiencing something, call it consciousness or whatever. however, that is not a great example of fact vs fiction, and this isn’t a philosophy debate sub, so I tried to keep it simple.
there are better examples, but I’m just trying to explain a simple concept, not get into the bottomless argument of philosophical truth
But you’re explaining it with such a bad example that it undermines the whole point, it’s like if you said, “Some things are just objective facts, like which poems are good.” That to me indicates that it’s not really a simple concept at all, you just don’t see the depth because you haven’t examined it. Being unwilling to examine it, framing that examination as “the bottomless argument of philosophical truth,” only reinforces that. If you’re not willing to examine the question, then don’t assert that you know the answer in the first place.
I see, so you’re only interested in asserting your own philosophical positions, not examining or defending them in any way.
ohh sorry, is this a philosophy group?

do you agree with my assertion that some things are objective facts and some are not?
Yes.
I just think you’re being dismissive, while setting your own ideas as being apart from philosophy.

i don’t care.

Don’t try to explain things you neither understand nor care about then.
