  • Well, if other people and things don’t exist then it’s your brain creating your perception of reality. The physics of your world is consistent, You can test that. If reality is something your brain is making up, it would have to calculate the physics of everything you perceive instantly and constantly. It can’t do that.

    If it could, how would YOU, the consciousness that is experiencing this made up reality, ever struggle with something like a math problem? It’s the same brain. The sheer scale of everything happening around you, how would your mind possibly calculate it as you experience it.

    How would your mind know how something hot like a coffee should cool down depending on the temperature around it and the container it’s in and how that heat will affect things around it.

    If this reality is real, it’s not being calculated, it’s happening, everywhere all the time. If it’s fake it has to be calculated or simulated for you. If your brain can’t simulate it, then it’d have to be something like a super computer quantum singularity thingamajig. If that’s doing it, then who created the computer?

    If reality is real, then people are real. If reality is fake then people have to be real.
















  • I like Joplin too. My only issue is that the developer is weirdly against implementing any kind of encryption or password protection suggesting that users should do that on their end (at least last time I looked).

    So I ended up using QOwnNotes which has this feature. But I can’t put that on my android phone so I’ve got this stupid setup with obsidian on the phone, QOwnNotes on my pc and resilio sync keeping it all synced.
