MDM is a scourge upon the earth
MDM is a scourge upon the earth
It’s completely impossible to prove, without making any assumptions, that anything other than one’s own mind exists. However, it’s also completely impractical not to assume one’s own perceptions are generally valid (them being invalid is the exception rather than the rule).
Belief in things seen (accepting the validity of perception) is fundamentally different than faith which is the belief in things unseen (equating imagination with perception). The former is necessary to function in the world. The latter is not necessary to function, even if some people derive value from it.
Edit: I probably should have said “a mind at a moment” rather than “one’s own mind”. But perhaps identity is a topic for another day.

To clarify: I’m not opposed to the concept of MDM, but the available solutions for implementing it are garbage. The MDM agent is one of the first things a nation state attacker goes after because it’s ubiquitous and usually worse code than the OS itself.
