I see Dradis. While not done yet, I already like it.

I encourage you Reese to underline that sense of reality is subjective but not reality itself, because we can relate to it even while seeing it in diffrent ways. Your video can be easly interpreted as orthodox solipsism, and i believe it's not the case here, but alot of people will understand it this way.

Hi Reese,

 

I just wanted to say, what Dariusz said. And that was and is also my problem with Chiren's theory. Even IF our PERCEPTION of the world is subjective, we all have a common interpretation, some minimal intersection of our subjectivities.

Update: You can believe it or not -- I call a thing real, if it is perceived by more than one person. And there seem to be a lot of real things, even if not every attribute they have may be "real" in that sense.

Nice point, Der Durst. (also lol @ Nick spotting Dradis!)

I suppose it's normal you've not dropped your robot voice. Hey mum, what's wrong with Wolfie?

Wolfie's just fine honey. Wolfie's just fine.

Athene's Theory of "Everything you Know is Wrong"

I liked much more the traditional SD stuff, because y'know, small streams lead to the sea. The way we see reality is the sea, the hardest thing to work with. And here you don't give real clues to work with it. I think helping people to deal with procrastination, addiction, socialization, organization, sens of purpose etc is interesting, and is in fact the real deal, and there would be a lot to do in gathering all the tricks that have been provided in the past on iPozer.

When your discipline is high, your confidence is high, and your freedom of thought is high, then you can begin to ask yourself of the nature of reality without much risks (the nature of what makes us see it the way we see it).

Except if it remains on a theoretical level. All alone it's not much help. I think the members of Ipozer are not the ones who need the most to be convinced that reality is a construction of the mind.

If you would make a video that would convince world leaders of this, then that would be an achievement.

Small streams lead to the sea. First make a IpowerPedia that's organized, easily checkable and sharable. Get rid of that awful black colour (don't you know the effects of colours on the uncouscious ?) so that young blood participate on their cellphones. Thinking of it Reese, wouldn't you happen to be colour-blind?

I wonder if society has the capacity to recognize this and overcome the existential depression that follows.
