Not sure what you mean here.
Hmm I don’t buy the idea of ipseity in general and its disturbances. Those latter sure does not seem capable of self attribution. Anyway, it is pointless to look for evidence for the a priori, else it would not have that status.
There’s some supposed merit to being a little mad and pursuing life goals. It’s like getting some extra spiritual help with your ambitions.
But I’m like full bore nutter. Or at least I was. Can’t live like that!

Off topic, but one of my past life hallucinations was I was either Loki or Neo from the Matrix. I can’t be both. We had a battle. As you know Loki and Neo can have false projections or “clones” where there are multiple copies of them battling it out lol.
It felt real but could have been fake or just plain insanity, but I have had Loki dreams and re-occuring themes in my life. That I was the real Loki from Norse Mythology. But then I believe in Neo too, so there’s that.
I’ve hallucinated a lot in my past lives. Not anymore. I guess ‘things’ can drive me insane. I rather just be cool and recover though. No point in figuring it all out and going nuts again.
Well, ipseity disturbance is increasingly recognised as one of the core features of sz and I admit it strikes a chord with my own experiences.
Not sure what all these fancy terms mean. I deal with meat and potatoes. I’m a simple man lol. If you cannot express you’re ideas in simple terms, (perhaps I’m the only layman here) then you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’m not a philospher or pretending to be one. A lot or most of us are just regular schizophrenics and need explaining.
That may be so, but I think it’s a flawed concept.

Obviously, Einstein pointed that out decades ago. That our shared reality is an illusion thanks to Special Relativity I think. We all experience time differently.
I wasn’t describing delusions, just aggravated existential themes.
Like what? that some philosophers years ago thought up of a demon controlling our reality? So what. Can you prove it. What is the evidence? These ideas can spiral out of control, man.
Not really understanding what your concerns are right now.
By commonsense view of the shared world I wasn’t referring to a folk science view as opposed to a properly scientific one, rather, I was referring to our taken for granted commitments with the shared world. Basic stuff like "this table is indeed a table and it exists outside my mind '. Sorry about the confusion.
I gueeeeeees I feel human. The shared world part is the can ‘o worms I don’t like to open.
I have memories from before I had schizophrenia, and I base my perception of reality on that.
If schizos say that the world is not real, people think that the schizos are crazy.
When the physicists say that we might be living in a computer based simulation, people say, WOW that’s interesting. LOL

We need more schizo physicists.
I haven’t felt human for as long as I can remember. When I was very little I remember staring at my hands and my reflection and just feeling completely bizarre about being human, like I couldn’t believe it. I never understood these feelings and they fed my delusions for a long time.
However I have never doubted this world was real. I just always believed there was more to it than meets the eye.
I feel i was born on another planet
So you feel this feelings is inextricably linked to your sz?
A “human” planet?
Yeah absolutely. Analyzing it i think it came from having psychosis at such a young age. It made me experience the world in a vastly different way than everyone else. I couldn’t connect with others and it made me age faster mentally compared to other children. So as a result, I did not feel human.
