      That’s because you’re afraid to have an intellectually honest discussion with someone who disagrees with you. It’s easier to pretend people who disagree with you don’t exist.

      The fact that the self is an illusion is not a new idea. Surely you’ve heard of it. But you’d rather pretend that I don’t believe in it than to have an actual conversation considering its implications.

      Western neurotypicals are so very concerned with ego. It’s unhealthy.

        Dude. I’m always looking for a challenge. But you aren’t being a challenge— you’re being obnoxious. Tone it down a notch, and then maybe we can both respect and listen to each other, and entertain some philosophical ideas that we might not ultimately accept, like true intellectuals.

          Can you show me a moment of this discussion when I was “obnoxious” from before you insulted me? Cause I wanted to have an actual discussion, and you’re saying you do as well, but what you’re saying would be hard to believe if you were the first one to throw an insult in place of a discussion.
