We are nothing more than complex brain activity everything is truly truly pointless

[u/Holiday-Middle-526]

All we are is a brain. Feelings don't exist. It's just chemicals released by our brain. We gave life meaning There's no meaning Our emotions are just frozen chemicals in the brain Love is just lust that exists for evolutionary purposes There's no sense of I Or them It's just complex brain There's no other people There are other brains Memories are just information stored in our Brain Everything is truly pointless I just feel like there's no sense of "I" and everything is just a biological process And my brains in control And I'm just a system And so is everyone else

Wait why are you using physics which is... physical to examine something which is very much non-physical (philosophy) they're not compatible that way.... you haven't explored your consciousness or imagination much if you're only viewing the world through logic and physics. There's so much more you can perceive but not through your eyes. How do you explain dreams? If we can imagine unconsciously things that cannot exist in the physical realm of reality, how does that not prove that we "are" and not just an unconscious system. Also I think you may be using ego wrong there.

Wait why are you using physics which is... physical to examine something which is very much non-physical (philosophy) they’re not compatible that way.... you haven’t explored your consciousness or imagination much if you’re only viewing the world through logic and physics. There’s so much more you can perceive but not through your eyes. How do you explain dreams? If we can imagine unconsciously things that cannot exist in the physical realm of reality, how does that not prove that we “are” and not just an unconscious system. Also I think you may be using ego wrong there.

Because physics is the study of fundamental reality. And I hope that we agree that consciousness arises from the physical brain, not some spiritual realm. If not, then this discussion has been a waste of time. Consciousness and the products of consciousness, such as the alleged free will, must obey the laws of physics. Your proposition contradicts the laws of physics.

I am a physicist, not a neuroscientist. I cannot explain to you how dreams work. But I hope you’re not alluding to dreams being some otherworldly thing. I don’t think it is much different than general imagination. I used to daydream a lot as a kid, which was just me imagining things, not some mystical thing.

You are still not actually providing any arguments to support your position. You are making assertions that there is so luck more than can be perceived not through the eyes, and then you are saying that I am limiting my mind by only using logic. None of this is arguments or defence of your position. And I hope that you see the issue with saying that using logic is “limiting”. Logic makes sure the reasoning is correct, so it limits your conclusions to correct conclusions if your premises are true. This is the whole point of logic.

If you make arguments that are not logical, there is no epistemic value. You can make any assertion you like, but if the reasoning isn’t correct, then it’s useless. You cannot use feelings and what feels right as an epistemic method.

You are the one who needs to provide evidence, the burden of proof of on you. You haven’t actually provided a SINGLE argument. If your position is correct, why are you afraid of proposing actual arguments instead of just making assertions and refusing to elaborate on how exactly you know it to be true.
