Basically all of these theories together create the ultimate theory.

Being a pantheist, I feel honored that you chose pantheism as your first topic for this video. Also, I feel a responsibility to weigh in as well. Baruch Spinoza, while offering a considerable body of work on pantheistic thought, did not exactly "popularize" pantheism. There have been theological connections to pantheism within Taoism and Hinduism for example that existed aeons before Spinoza's time, and yet pantheism as a tradition unto itself never became "popular" to begin with (at least not in the so-called "Western World"). While we may not be considered " theists" in the "classical" sense, we do clearly acknowledge the existence of God and thus the falsity of atheism.

Never saw a solopsist that didn't look both ways before crossing the street! The judge asked me why I didn't pay my taxes. I told him that he and the taxman are just thngs in my head and don't really exist. He said: "Five years!"

Nice video I am with the Idealist we are in a simulated dream world being dreamed by Mind.

Very glad ive found this channel, really really nice content!

While I see you guys tend to focus on modern era philosophies, I would love to hear your channel do a video about the roman philosophies.

Thank you for taking the time to make and share this thought provoking video. Philosophy Vibe is truly an underrated channel. While I see the importance of remaining as unbiased as possible on this kind of channel, considering the scope of topics covered, I think it's important to point out that the existence of The Universe/The Pantheistic God demonstrates conclusive evidence that atheism is false, and the only reason that atheists are given the time of day in the halls of so-called "higher education" is due several factors: not just the widespread unawareness of pantheistic thought, but also the dominance of the world's most major religions, as well as the prevelance of atheist, materialist and Marxist indoctrination in academia and the mainstream media.

Interesting to note I have imagined 4 out of these 5 without ever reading philosophy, By God, I am inherent philosopher.

I lean towards Pantheism/ Pananthieism and Idealism being true or atleast semi true.. I also lean towards simulation theory being kind of true but I don't think it's a computer simulation but more of a simulation created from God/ source or mind/consciousness...

[jeffxanders]

Life is a dream and all of these are true.

Where’d ur buddy today 🥺… as always… best philosophy channel❤🙏

[keithhancock]

What about mysticism, the oldest, most lasting actual experience of mankind?

[BrockNelson]

I’m something of a panDEIST. I think God is physically and metaphysically all encompassing but even he doesn’t “”know” where he came from”. He is not something to be worshipped, but respected and investigated. Our and every other living thing’s consciousness helps comprise his consciousness in the same way that our individual cells are conscious, but so are we as human beings. He has moral beliefs, but he fights an internal struggle to decipher which ones he thinks are correct via introspection - the same way we do. He is capable of good and evil just as we are which is why the problem of evil exists. A theist would say I am anthropomorphizing God and to this I say, yes - I am.

I think modal realism makes a great deal of sense. It's foolish to think that one way is the only way when any number of ways could be.

[swampthing]

Idealism predates the early modern period, Ancient Indian philisophy contains the earliest references to Idealism, first implied in the Upanishads and later Buddhist philosophy such as the Yogachara school.
I would appreciate an engagement with Eastern philosophy as well instead of a Eurocentric view that Idealism began in the early modern period.

Look up Bernardo Kastrup and have your mind blown. It's idealism explained and expanded on by a CERN scientist.

Is that a new microphone? Sounds great

I get that matter does not exist in the sense that atomic particles are not tiny pieces of matter. Somehow energy is bundled to interact with other bundles and macroscopically it appears to be solid.

If there is an omnipotent God, I like to ask, What is the difference between creating the world and imagining it? This could be a simulation in the sense that God has only to imagine all of this and need not physically create anything.
