I remember back when I was 12 or so I had a total spiritual awakening or some sh*t and I started to wonder this and was depressed for like two weeks, but now I don't really curr.

True but I cant imagine having a better life than what I have got at the moment.

But you wouldn't need to imagine, because you wouldn't know any different.

I was hiding some stuff in threads across the forum for The Mole. I found myself reading through this one. Then Karl said that during the task he found this thread and was also distracted by it.

Oh right nice one.

I shall try add a more constructive post for my theory tomorrow when I'm not drunk and have figured out if I do actually exist lol

So night for now (I think)

[Benjamin]

Lol, night matey, happy hangover.

[Glenn.]

I'm going to bed now. Or am I waking up?


The mind boggles. I'm gonna be thinking about this for hours

I agree, it's not easy to prove it really. It reminds me of a story I heard about a man in the WTC who was on one of the floors where the plane actually hit. He apparently saw it coming and then blacked out, when he awoke ten minutes or so later, the phone was ringing. He thought to himself, is this god ringing me up to tell me I'm dead, or am I still alive!!! I can imagine after the chaos of a plane hitting the building how would you know if you were alive or dead?? Not sure if that's relevant to this thread though

I think that whole "did you ever really wake up" is quite scary as well. Like one long lucid dream type thing.

[Marc]

I'm not actually real..

When I was stoned the other night I got the idea that it would be great If we evolved to be able to photosynthesise.

So I sort of kind of solved world hunger. We shall become plants.

I then thought for awhile that the ganja's plant mind was manifesting in me. It kind of makes sense. Get me to smoke it then infiltrate me with it's plant ideals. It could be trying to preserve itself.

I'll just stop now.

[Jords]

If it was all in my imagination Id make myself hawt

I'm glad I read that whilst not high.

Sometimes sitting around with no pants on watching COPS just doesn't cut it, y'know.

[Shasown]

Some fascinating concepts in this thread.

I am real, I dont need to prove it, you all only exist in my reality.

Does anybody else think about when we die, that might just be it. If there isn't any life after death or being reborn. That's it, you no longer get to be on the earth and your existance is no longer and will never ever (again) be.

[Harry!]

I study Philosophy AS and this is one of the key topics we study. If you look at the classic Descartes "I think, therefore I am." he is basically suggesting that because he thinks he must exist. But some would argue that is not enough to prove your existance. Just because you can "think" wouldn't mean you "exist". The idea of your brain in a jar in a laboratory miles away and you are just "there".

You can experience life through senses but because you may think a food smells nice somebody might think that is horrid. Would somebody who is colour blind experience the WHOLE world differently? Hume's missing shade of blue theory implies that sense experince may not be sufficent to understand you (or other people/things) exist.

Does a person in a coma exist? They are unable to communicate and carry out person like actions. Status of people is also very important for proving existance.

Solopsism - "buzz world".

Rationalism - is reason enough to prove of your existance. Locke's Table proves this.

I could talk about this lots.
