Well this topic seems to be really hot lately so lets try another line of thinking here, that is a bit more close to home supposedly fantasy creation or religious believes. Thats right, this has nothing to do with fantasy or religion. It is about yourself.
Can you prove your own existens or are you just a temporary imagination of my subconscious creations lately? Are you real or just a figment of someone elses illusion? It is one thing to argue about for example Santa, Vampires and others and then to take the same line of thoughts to ponder whether you actually exist or if you and the line of thoughts you have is just part of an intricate dream- Cause if you stop to think about it. Isnīt it actually so that with the reasoning lately, YOU are a miracle, or maybe just a mirage? I think therefor I am, is a famous statment to prove yourself. But if I donīt believe in you, do you still exist? And can it be plausable to say that for me you donīt exist, but you exist for your self? Since I donīt have any interaction with you at all, you donīt exist for me and vice versa. if I believe you exist, does it make a matter to me? Well a couple of philosophical thoughts here. Donīt try the "I" and "me" here as me, Wolfgir, but ask yourself thoose questions instead..

An observed fact requires no proof.
Since your observing this post, something must have posted it. Therefore I must exist - but whether im human or a chat bot is something youll have to prove for yourself.

I cannot prove my existence to anyone other than me. However for myself it's simple: "I think, therefore I am."
Besides that, the world is as you percieve it. If you percieve it it exists, to you. |

Ever dreamt that you were someone else??
Observed awareness can be a dream of another..

Hehe, I do Neb, but if you are who you become who is it that you left behind?
See, the more you try to answer it, the more intricate it becomes. You can say I am as proof, but does that make it so? And as to quote Yorrick very very drastic with no more regards to other threads then just this line mind you!! "If I call myself a Russian". I cut it short, but we know Yorrick isnīt, but if he calls himslef that and say that you would believe him so. Is he a Russian for you or is he not? Is there a chance of truth being more then one aswer at the same time kinda answer??

Is this really worthwhile? I mean, as soon a people start throwing in "how do you know that you actually exist?" questions, that's when the discussion just gets ridiculous. It's normally a way for someone who is starting to feel insecure about their own beliefs, and is now clutching at straws. I'm not saying that that is what you are doing Wolfgir, because I think you're just raising it for fun.
If someone chooses to doubt their own existence, then perhaps their grip on reality is starting to fade. Or maybe they should stop sucking in the fumes! [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] |
