Everything you experience happens inside your head.

Your brain synthesizes your experience. It's the only place it happens.

Nah, physical things happen in the physical world. Very basic concept.

Either you're an earthworm or your brain integrates everything around into a coherent whole you can understand.

Yes, this happens. But that doesn't mean things aren't actually happening outside of your brain.

Well, it's a good thing no one here argued that point!

Your experience only happens in your brain. No one is denying physical phenomena.

A pretty large portion of the population seem to crave some sort of conflict to different levels.
Video games and sports are pretty much a safe version of going to war. I find this forum boring sometimes when there isn't some kind argument going on.
That's pretty much as far as it goes for me, I don't like serious angry arguments with family or friends.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
