Wrong, I just gradually came to know better and say emotion as a wasted response to certain inevitable outcomes

Maybe nonduality has the problem then, as a human construct of course it would. So in a sense it supports solipsism

Also if death was a myth then why mourn victims of the virus? Why not just lift the quarantine and everyone can “not die”? Tell my mom to stop her cancer treatment because death is a myth?

Have you experienced nondual awareness ? Simple yes or no question . Let’s start there without any misunderstandings and see where it goes.

Correct. death is a myth.
there is only life. All is alive, all matter, even things we think of as inanimate matter is alive. All is conscious and all is constructed from infinite consciousness. It is the fundamental fabric of everything.
I was being sarcastic and attempting to show the holes in nonduality. Death isn’t a myth and inanimate matter is not alive. Consciousness is the product of the brain, everything is not consciousnesses, how many times must I correct people on this.

No its ok to want to be alive.
Its ok to die too, equally its ok to be born ;-)
Life is not so serious. It is temporary. Changing, fleeting.
Yet there is something which is changeless. You, awareness, life force itself...

He said he’s autistic, so I gather that may be part of why he’s having trouble with this.

There isn’t a life force and consciousness isn’t changeless, just ask people under general anesthesia. I’m not awareness, I am the body. If we’re awareness then I would be in impacted humanity changes to the body.
Seems as though you are stuck in dreams.

Well as your signature says everyone is nothing so why should I feel anything for “nothing”. I’ve dreamt of clarity of vision and admired the robots in movies that were unbound by human filters. I slowly began to see that such suffering and sadness that humans face from loss is because they have yet to accept death as reality.
Now I’m at a place where even the death of family does nothing. I mean you are talking to a guy who as a kid wanted to see the end of the world, the extinction of all things. If the world ended and life with it I would smile so wide.
Not sure what this has to do with solipsism.

True. The idea that consciousness is stable or unchanging is false. That too is subject to permanence, not self, and suffering.

You basically have 0 comprehension, respect, or acceptance of the fact that you might actually be wrong, don't you?

I agree JokeShopB,
That’s what I mean by all the subtlety goes over his head, don’t hate em for it though- frustrating as his strange way of connecting dots is.
Don’t think he sees it. Pull the log from your eye before you pull the splinter from your brothers comes to mind.
I’m guilty of it too. Debate goes nowhere like this. This kind of thing only goes in circles. Like he’s stuck in one of those mushroom trip loops.
He said he’s autistic, maybe he is and that’s playing a part, or maybe he’s a troll, or maybe something else. Either way...
Let’s not get stuck too. Moving on!!!
I’ll leave this here...
Imagine a duck in a glass bottle. The neck of the bottle is too small to allow the duck through. The bottle is perfectly formed and has no trick bottoms or other openings. How do you get the duck out of the bottle without damaging either the duck or the bottle?
- what would you do Thantos?

Oh I get it. I used to try with Thanatos years back in PS&P. I had to give all that up though; the man is - literally - impossible, and he's a master at spinning people out as far as they'll go.
An interesting human for sure, and I love him in my own way, but trying to help the man see anything but what he sees is the metaphorical equivalent of banging your head into a brick wall whilst feeding your balls into a juicer whilst sticking your hand in a jar full of snakes whilst an elephant tramples your house whilst a rhino runs over your car. Probably add a catastrophic meteorite that is going to destroy all civilization as we know it bearing down from the sky to complete the picture.
The only net gain, I suspect, is that Thanatos finds it amusing (although he'd probably deny even that).
