| 16 hours ago | comment | added | Michael Hall | @BoltStorm, Your friend's supposed "claims" are not only not accurate, but are nothing more than unsubstantiated, pessimistic personal opinion.

If the self didn't exist we wouldn't have the society we have, "science" as a thing would not even exist, and you wouldn't have asked the question because you'd just be sitting there processing food into poop. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | BoltStorm | So then the stuff I provided isn't accurate? The comment at the end mentioned a collection of "highly inaccurate cultural beliefs" but I have no idea what that could mean. I'm also not sure what there not being a self would mean per se. | |
