I would think that the inability to prove or disprove either of these positions (except thru contact from the responsible entities) would leave us in the position of being exactly where we were before pondering this question. So, lacking the ability to make a determination, a directive from the military SOP comes to mind: "In the absence of a contravening directive, continue with the orders in hand."
The only way I could see this affecting the way I live is if it were to be proven (or disproven.) We don't have the tools to make that determination.

Life may go on, but isnt thinking about just this kind of thing what seperates us from monkeys? (Does anything seperate us from monkeys? I dont know... maybe theyre just pretending to be unintelligent and are in fact planning to take over the world ... or then again, maybe not... u never know)

But if you cannot define "I", how can you say "I think, therefore I am"? What is "I" and, as a matter of fact, what is "to be"? If being is dreaming (the theory that we are dreaming all this), then what would we "be" when we are dreaming in the dream? Would this be truer, realer that the world we think of as the "real world" (i dont mean RPGs by this)? THE CONFUSION THEORY which everyone argues with |

Please don't try and tell me you can be aware and not exist. That is a contradiction. You cannot "do" "have" or "feel" anything if you are nothing, and I cannot believe I am writing this! AAAARRRRGGG! ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |
