It has been some time. Let me try again. I'll check in weekly to see how the discussion thus and every Saturday evening I'll post my thoughts based on the responses given and the new weekly discussion.

For this weekly discussion:

Prime question: What is the nature of reality?

Follow up questions:

Is reality purely physical, or does it include non-material aspects like consciousness or ideas?

Can reality be fully understood through human perception and science, or is it inherently unknowable?

How do phenomena like dreams, simulations, or virtual worlds challenge our understanding of what is 'real'?

Hello, I'm gonna try and make this subreddit a bit more consistent by posting a daily discussion or DD for short. A topic will be introduced from ten to midnight so I has an entire day to be discussed.

Today's DD: Pre-socratic relativism is the question of if absolute knowledge, meaning knowledge that's true no matter what arguments or perspective you have, exists.

With every DD I'll give a simple for and against, but not my opinion. After the DD day I'll respond to the most convincing reaction with my opinion. Most of the time it will be a short respond because I also have a life, but I'll try.

For: physics has a very convincing system which claims to be true for all observers. For example light travels at the same speed in a vacuum for all people who see it, even if they move away or to the light themselves.

Against: all our beginnings are based on our empirical knowledge and as multiple philosophers have stated, like plato and my favourite on this subject Hume. Hume states causality can't be proven since one has to know if the situation was coincidental and since we can't sense coincidentally one cannot be sure of any causal relation between two situations.

Chat what you think.
