Can you prove you exist?
 

In your mind you might be able to. But really, bet you can't.

There's no such thing as Niamh:conf:

I breathe air and I got a pulse and five working senses, I exist for I'd not have any of these otherwise.

The fact that you ask that question, proves that you exist.

I doubt, therefore I am.

It really does not. How do you know I even asked it in the first place? Might be all in your mind...

Of course we exist, but on what level is the question. This life could be a mental projection we are sending ourselves from another plane.

The quote is, I think, therefore I am. :)

I've thought about this a couple of times, it's an interesting theory.

We dont know anything, we cant prove we really 'exist' (how we comprehend it anyway)

Please don't. It hurts too much.

lol, these types of discussion are completely endless and unresolvable lol

or maybe this is the Matrix! Could be though

LEt me give you a quote from Descates, I have studied his relativity theory, and its pretty convincing. YOu have to read it very carefully, I remember, it took me a while to even undertand what he was talking about:


"But I have convinced myself that there is absolutely nothing in the world, no sky, no earth, no minds, no bodies. Does it now follow that I too do not exist? No. If I convinced myself of something [or thought anything at all] then I certainly existed. But there is a deceiver of supreme power and cunning who is deliberately and constantly deceiving me. In that case I too undoubtedly exist, if he is deceiving me; and let him deceive me as much as he can, he will never bring it about that I am nothing so long as I think that I am something. So, after considering everything very thoroughly, I must finally conclude that the proposition, I am, I exist, is necessarily true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived in my mind. "

I belive Im the only important person in this world,

I belive when I die your all ****ed,

I belive this is my TV Show and your`ll all Co Stars/Extras

Well you might think you are typing in this thread, but you might be part of someones dream.

Ah dont do this to me...

I sit thinking stuff like that all the time...

How am I thinking this, how does my brain work, am I real, how come my brain knows I am thinking this, are we just part of a big dream etc...it goes in circles over and over for hours, and then i feel like i am going to pass out...

But soft what light through yonder window breaks it is the east and Juliet is the sun, arise fair sun and kill the envious moon. :bigsmile: :crazy:

Woo this thread is buzzin! :P

Actually, the basis of that theory, is the doubt.

I love this theory

The Matrix was what put it in my head (then The Truman Show)

You all don't exist, you just think you do. ;)

I always do this. it scares me. it gives me this wierd feeling in my body, its kinda warm but not right. lol that makes no sence.

I never said it was a direct quote dufass.... no need to be like that. I studied Descartes at college and it was his doubt that gave birth to the famous quote.

Deep!
