Materialism is believing chemicals in your brain are chemicals in your brain because that's what the chemicals in your brain told you they were, and that what you can personally measure is all there is despite the fact that we keep finding shit we literally cannot measure.

Eh? What's your point?

My point? I don't have a point. It's just a philosophical concept related to what you've described. Have a read, you might find it interesting. Otherwise ignore. 👍

Happy New Year! 🎆

Sorry I just don't see the connection between "Your brain is lying to you" and "You are the only real person."

I think they are related. Not the same, of course. If you aren't interested, ignore. 👍
