We can discuss philosophy if you want.
Some branches are similar to math. Some branches are just nonsense.

i used to be really heavy into watching/reading about atheism debates, but now i find it easier to just believe the pleasant alternative of deism

OK. Let's discuss a simple thing first. You know how the colour red looks like. But how do you know if other people see it the same way you see it. Maybe the redness you see is different from the redness other people see. If you magically allowed other people to see it, maybe they'd call it "blue". So their "red" might not be your "red". But people can still agree that the same things are "red", because they were taught to call e.g. the insides of watermelon "red".
The problem is that you can only describe the structure of things, but not the "raw features" of things. These "raw features" are called qualia in philosophy. (Now you know a fancy word.
)
So one question is, whether all people perceive qualia in the same way or not. Can we discuss it at all? How can you tell other people how your qualia look like? It seems to be impossible, the language cannot convey this.
Another way to explain it is the following. Imagine a person who was throughout their whole life kept in a room with no colour blue. The person got access to all the knowledge of the world, but everything blue was turned to some other colour. The person could learn all about physics, about the light, about how the eyes and the brain work etc.
Suddenly, one day someone shows the person something blue. Does the person learn anything new?

Dumb.
Re: everybody else is doing it OR lolin talks to himself
lolin if you're lucky one day you'll be able to sink into a state of complete apatheism like me. It's by far the easiest once you can let go of the burden of thinking about shit.

I remember when people remembered me here. I was like top 3 posters famous.
Terrible times, I'm glad they're dead.
