Does not exist.
t. eliminative materialist

Gulag for you

me

Eliminative materialists can't distinguish between the self and the Self

This isn't a philosophical question.

Are you for real?

At beast it's psychology

The ontological status of the self has been discussed since Plato. Even memelord Hume had something to say about it

It's the same distinction between peter pan and Peter Pan.

Nah

It's the distinction between the ego that is only a product of biology and the center that you are in which this ego is even disclosed

I respect your opinion, but I don't believe in these things.

You don't believe you're experiencing anything right now? Okay.

I agree with you about the self but the other things I believe in would send you into an autistic tantrum

it's just an abstraction

if its just an abstraction lets see you drop it like any other abstraction

dread

how will you see such a thing retard

the self is found in between attention and thought. however awareness is what constitutes the self while consuming it simulatneously. go figure

an illusion

There's what we refer as "self" and what we believe is the self.

Former is simply a collection of thoughts/memories/body identification. A simple misidentification. The later is the belief that there is a concrete self that which the former is. This doesn't exist.

It is that which is seperate from all else that is also aware of it's own seperation.

Given that this seperation can percieve it's difference, then it is a "self".

Better question; what is?

Like Hume's bundle theory?

On principle yea. A more modern version is from Parfit's view of self is "more" "complete" version.

What?
