pseud. hobbes already solved this, with much less fanfare. if you pass out randomly in the woods like a savage you'll be much more likely to think your dreams are visions. that's literally all it is

>>250929462/3s of leviathan is fantastic. the most bitter of autists assassinating all normie prejudices. a line i like particularly is "words are the money of fools, but the bellwethers of wise men." the last 1/3, unfortunately, is just hobbes backpedaling and propitiating the church out of fear
>>25092916Great book, worth reading. Makes conventional psychology fans seethe relentlessly
>>25092916Pseud but it's a fun larp most of the way through. I'm getting ready to prop up my dead grandmother's cadaver right now and let the wind blow through it to find out my next course of action. I just need to find the bucket of her remains. I know it's around here somewhere.
>>25092943Was this in Leviathan? I don't remember such a thing
>>25093042I still haven't read it but will. Give it some time.
>>25093087it's toward the beginning, when he's giving an account of perception, and condemning what he calls "enthusiasm" (belief in supernatural spirits). he quite autistically tells the reader to always fall asleep in the same place at the same time, to avoid accidentally believing a dream is a vision. hobbes' natural philosophy, though obviously empirically false, is quite interesting, and leads the mind to nice analogies
>>25092916Very intriguing and very plausible, human language is a fascinating phenomena despite the recent retardism of "le elephants have grammar le orcas and dolphins le talk", most popular science is hot garbage for promoting this kind of midwittery, scientists, as in actual psychologists who study the ABC (Affect-Behaviour-Cognition), have routinely demonstrated that human language is a very distinct phenomena from animal communication, it is not just advanced but in a whole different league altogether Obviously this board skews heavily towards midwit philcuck shit-lit types so they always default to naturalist concepts and pick and choose scientific factoids to support their (pseudo) philosophy crap, essentially they use and abuse vegetational concepts
>>25093111i frequently reply to threads in which i have little to no knowledge of the subject because i enjoy making things up. also, calm down, julian
>>25092970what is the meaning of bellwethers of wise men aka castrated ram leaders of heards of sheep of wise men?is he being ironic? saying that words are impotent?
>>25093098>though obviously empirically falseSpooked
>>25092916The whole idea just reeks of materialist cope. Like somebody desperate to believe there's no supernatural reality to the world.
>>25093689Who is Descartes? And what's all this about a pineal gland?>And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
>>25092916Pseud slop. You can get the gist of it in a paragraph.
