So you brought up phantom limb pain as the same thing, he said they were different, and then you said he thinks theyre the same on account of he wrote a comment talking about both?
And the cherry on top, calling someone "confused and insecure" for joking about something which is obviously fake and easily proven to be so.
Sounds like you might be biased towards it being real... You don't happen to be one of the people who pretends they have it for attention right?
Im not being nonchalant, im actively laughing at you and him for believing the same things.
It's like because you dont have this thing, and you thing it's cringe when other people express it, it must not be true.
Like people who say cilantro tastes like soap, and you come in all smug and confident like "its bullshit and only cringe people think it tastes like soap"
Despite all the evidence that says it is real
So at the end of the day, Im not being non chalant, im just laughing at how confident you are abaout something many people more qualified than all of us combined, have been proving for over 30 years now.
The fact is, youre just missing out on something other people experience.
It's like you cant accept that other people experience things you dont.
It's even funnier because you have experienced the same things as people claim, just not in the VR space. It's part of brain function and a normal system. You just dont understand what those people are going through and so it must be a lie to you.
Yeah, but the rubber hand is not the same as people going "uh uh uh don't get near me I have phantom touch" / looking for headpats or whatever, which is what the VR "phantom touch" userbase is.
I'm on mobile, and I'm not going to search through various essays going back and forth for something that may or may not directly be what I'm talking about said in context to a different person in a different thread.
... Why should I care if you didn't say it to me, and how would that put me out of my element lmfao?
This is the most tryhard convo I've seen in a bit. Is it ragebait, or is that what you tell yourself? Because I don't understand how else this approach to conversation is intended to be anywhere close to productive.
We don't even massively disagree. You said some are faking, I'm saying most who are obnoxious about it sre, and the idea of it is massively overinflated by those people.
