Prove your existence.

[Some_weirdGuy]

Easy way to find out. Incapacitate your ability to imagine in one way or another, and see if we're all still here.

 

[Kyoufuu]

How am I meant to know YOU exist? Why should I answer someone I'm not even sure exists?

 

[Sprinal]

I think therefore I am..

But relative to you. I can't physically actually prove it.

 

[Blatherscythe]

Cogito ergo sum, I think, therefore I am.

 

[Animyr]

Descartes, etc. If my existance is a deception and I'm really a hapless figment of someone else's imagination or something, I have to exist to be decieved. And somebody has a really active imagination.

 

[Dunkerloop]

I'd say "I think, therefor I am", but these days spambots are getting smarter so that no longer applies.
Hmm, I guess it is pretty hard to prove that I exist. Not really.

God I HATE this type of question. Because you CAN'T prove you are real, or that anything else is real. You just have to assume it to be able to derive anything of meaning in life. If at any time in an arguement someone says "Ahh but how can you prove that anything is real?" that argument is immediately over.

 

[Aprilgold]

I'll punch you in the face, and then we'll see hows real here PAL! *End Exaggeration*

But yeah, pain is the only way to prove my existence since when did figments hurt so god damn much?

Either that or poking you...

 

[Wintermoot]

why don,t you think YOU aren't a figment of MY fantasy?

 

[Csae]

I proved my existence by creation.
I create works, things you could not.

The real question, is do YOU exist?

 

[Lejsen]

I post therefore i am.

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I know I exist.... But I'm not really sure I'm human....

Hell, I could be a Sweet Potato!

[b/]I think therefore, I'm a yam[/b]

 

[Phisi]

It's kinda impossible as you could be imagining all of us... or I could be imagining all of you :O so yeah, we are going to be here a while but in the mean time you might want to follow the rules of your imagination or you will end up being in an imaginary prison.

"I think therefore I am."
-Plato

[footnote]Yes, I am aware that's Shakespeare, and Descartes said it...[/footnote]

 

[sinterklaas]

You will not ever be able to prove that you exist. A person can only prove itself exists.

I think, therefore I am. Everything outside my mind can be an illusion.

"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?" -Chuang tzu-

I have decided you are all fragments of my imagination.

*facepalm* You completely overlooked the main point of the quote: it's questioning your perception of yourself. But w/e. Moving on.

Prove to me that you aren't. Prove to me you exist. I am easily persuaded .

Why should I do that? I'm satisfied with my own existence, and I'm quite confident that you exist, too.

(i am not looking for pictures ,names , numbers or anything of the like. How does one prove their existance or the existance of others?)

Complicated version: You can't. And fully embracing that fact is what characterizes people with sociopathy. Alternatively, you can latch onto the idea that it's irrelevant whether or not other people exist. Their perceptions will never be your own, and therefore their existence only matters in how it affects your life.

Simple version: It doesn't matter. You can waste your life wondering if anything is real and if your senses can be trusted, or you can just live your life, even if only by the simple fact that if something is controlling your perceptions and whatnot, you have no control over it whatsoever and should therefore not waste time worrying about it.

Are you asking me to prove that I exist to you? Or that I myself Exist?
Descartes famously said "I think there for I am", the mere fact that he could ponder his own existence was proof enough that he existed, but as what and where is not as easy to prove.

Now for me to prove my existence to you is a bit harder, for am I just random generated words on the internet?

But isn't the mere fact that I am answering you a proof that I as words on the internet exist in some form for you here on this internet?

 

[Loonyyy]

You can't. You can't prove your own existance. You'd have to use your own logic and perception, and senses. Hence, your own existance, is axiomatic, an assumption that must be made, for everything to exist, or be understandable. From your own senses, you can then percieve others, and know that they exist.
