Attributionism
- Nothing in the physical world can ever be known to truly exist, because our understanding of the world is based on human perception- something which is very flawed
- Good and evil do not exist: they are intangible so there existence depends on their very definition, but the definition is arbitrary(owing to so many different beliefs of individuals, cultures, religions, etc), so they lack any identity that can be commonly accepted
- Pleasure does not truly exist- it is but a misleading of faulty human senses which cannot be trusted
- Nothing can ever be proven by humans, because all things are intangible(see bullet 1), therefore there exists nothing by which objects can be measured
- Nothing ever happens due to causation, because nothing can be proven to exist, so there exist no factors exist which could influence other events
- The physical world is only significant by way of the meaning we attribute to it, therefore it exists only in the human mind( nothing can truly be known to exist, due to faulty human perception)
- There is no difference between life and non life, as both are merely human ideas, owing to the absence of evidence which might support a distinction(nothing can be proven)
- Despite all of these, a happy life can be lead, and as falsehoods do constitute what we define what we call "reality", a perfectly happy life can still be lead according to those same falsehoods, as lies are often warm and comforting. It is also not worth acknowledging these falsehoods, because there is no foundation for any other ideas, so in practice human perception and human senses should never be questioned- but rather these same lies should be lived by
- Therefore the meaning attributed to objects is a substance in and of itself- the definition which we give subjects constitutes their very identity.
