I see what the person on the previous page meant about how this argument can't be won, and not only that, we can't even have a reasonable discussion about the subject. We tried this in a different thread, where I was asking why Steve would choose such a restrictive diet if he truly believed in subjective reality. All I get back is that I don't understand what they mean by subjective reality. Of course I do, and so does Animus. What I was saying is, I don't believe in subjective reality to the degree that everything is my consciousness and Steve and Erin don't exist.
Let's say subjective reality is a false belief system. Nevertheless, some people believe in it. Or they say they do. Despite this supposed belief that nothing exists outside of consciousness, there's all this talk about how only one very restrictive type of diet is healthy, and it creates all these stupendous effects, and everything else is poison. How in the world does that fit with the same person believing in subjective reality?
Please don't come back and tell me I don't understand the concept. If I did believe in the concept of subjective reality, then I'd eat meat all day long because I'd know that it didn't really come from animals.
I think Steve explained his motivation quite well, actually. And Erin said flat-out that she/they don't actually believe in subjective reality but that it's a useful lens. So there you go.
