I have been reading what I wrote last night with growing horror and disbelief (I must have gone temporarily insane to write all that) and now introduce a new aspect to the discussion: IF you manage to make yourself believe that you do not exist, you will probably have such depressions (but im only a poor little phenomenom that doesnt even exist bla bla bla) that you will eventually kill yourself. So it is natures insurance that we all believe that we exist - including me, ignoring evidence to the contary (see my previous posts). We all exist, otherwise wheres the point? Anyway you (whoever wrote that) is right that a butterfly dreaming all THIS must have SERIOUS multiple personlaity problems  .

Nature does not take out insurance policies...it knows better
We all (as you so gracefully put it) do not know if we exist. We can believe we exist, we can convince ourselves that we exist, but we do not
know that we exist. Only speculation, as with many other things in life! That is why we have philosophy...to debate the things that science cannot prove.
