Moore's point is that we shouldn't let the inability to eliminate that "what if," which was specifically designed to be non-disprovable, actually affect ontology. That problems and questions created by philosophers basically just to stump philosophical methods should be all but ignored since, by design, there clearly can't be an answer except that one thing is by far most likely, and the other thing cannot matter because we can't prove or act upon it or treat it as anything other than a manufactured source of doubt/skepticism.
Objective reality doesn't exist, and that's a good thing, because it means our entire universe is subjective, and therefore, malleable to our perceptions. It means that with a big enough idea and a mind on which to balance it, we can move the earth.
I think, therefore I am. An objective reality exists, because you exist. The question is, how much of reality can you perceive, and to what limit?
My existence is subjective. Therefore any reality whose existence is assumed on my basis is also subjective.
That's because you're afraid to have an intellectually honest discussion with someone who disagrees with you. It's easier to pretend people who disagree with you don't exist.
The fact that the self is an illusion is not a new idea. Surely you've heard of it. But you'd rather pretend that I don't believe in it than to have an actual conversation considering its implications.
Western neurotypicals are so very concerned with ego. It's unhealthy.
Can you show me a moment of this discussion when I was "obnoxious" from before you insulted me? Cause I wanted to have an actual discussion, and you're saying you do as well, but what you're saying would be hard to believe if you were the first one to throw an insult in place of a discussion.
