    Well... they are ellipsis but... if we were using them in a formal piece of writing, surely we'd be putting paces between the dots? For casual use though, the dot dot dot is great for a pause of unfinished thought...

    Nihilism?

    No, I believe in tangible, physical reality.

    Not words that have no attachment to anything I can sense.

    Not the clever words of clever men, generaLIEsations and distortions of what's real.

    What can I see?

    Individuals. So all action is at the level of the individual. To say anything else is to deny the evidence of the senses and is obviusly completely nuts.

    For those who believe in society, religion or even nothing (there is no such thing, even in the mind) are all dangerously insane.

    The vast majority of the world are dangerously insane?

    Lets guess which is more likely - everyone else (including nearly every other poster on these boards) in the world is dangerously insane (and I don't really like being insulted this early in the day)

    OR

    you are...

    Well, what you do in the cae of having to prove something is you check with material reality.

    Ok, so if we do that, we find that I am in fact correct, and therefore (if it's just a false hypothesis that needs correcting) anyone who encountered the idea will go "oh yeah, your right you know" and simply adapt to the new knowledge.

    The heavy emotional outpouring at the idea that it's all nonsense from those who encounter it is a clue as to something going on. Of course it's because the person who fed them the nonsense was usually a close family member who either ended the obvious questions of small children (or maybe teenagers) with threats or dismissal.

    And you can hear it in the arguments "if you don't like it leave"(teenager trapped at home) "try telling that to the police"(I'm stronger than you) "everyone else believes it"(Youcan't fight us all) "people who don't believe it are evil"(only good boys and girls go to heaven, and your a good boy, aren't you?) yadda yadda.

    Yeah, everyone else is nuts. Truth isn't democratic.

    there is truth in what you say but ...we build our realities.
    so that we can all function to some degree.

    Cheers Rolly.

    There is truth to what you say too.

    Thing is, which is more important, the ideas in realities we build or the people who are in the reality we didn't?
