Two truths doctrine

The Buddhist doctrine of the two truths (Sanskrit: dvasatya) differentiates between two levels of satya (Sanskrit; Pali: sacca; word meaning "truth" or "reality") in the teaching of the Śākyamuni Buddha: the "conventional" or "provisional" (saṁvṛti) truth, and the "ultimate" (paramārtha) truth.

Vertiginous question

Benj Hellie's vertiginous question asks why, of all the subjects of experience out there, this one—the one corresponding to the human being referred to as Benj Hellie—is the one whose experiences are live? (The reader is supposed to substitute their own case for Hellie's.) A simple response is that this question reduces to "Why are Hellie's experiences live from Hellie's perspective," which is trivial to answer. Solipsism and vertiginous question are metaphysics of mind and theory of mind.
