Prove your existence.

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

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

This message proves that I exist in some form, even if only as a figment of your imagination.
Most importantly, I am a figment beyond your control, which proves I have some impact on your perception of reality. To that extent, at least, I exist.

How do you know that you aren't also just a figment of your own imagination and therefore do not exist either?

->Present->Proof->My Existence

TAKE THAT!

no,seriously acknowlegding my presence and existence is enough to me
even if i was just a part of someones imagination i'd still exist
you dont need to have to be a physical entity to exist
otherwise our thoughts and images we see in our head wouldnt exist either but they are there

Blood came out when I bit myself.

Ow.

 

[ZeroMachine]

You first.

Your move, OP.

 

[Soods]

I have to exist to be able to make this comment. But you should start by defining what it means to "exist".

I comment, therefore I am.
Yeah. Take that. Foo.

+3 internets for you, sir

 

[CopperBoom]

Oh look! Someone discovered solipsism!

I am skeptical of your claim and I...
OH!

 

[alandavidson]

I can affect the physical world around me, thus I must exist.

 

[Vhite]

No because it wouldn't be a religion then, but a fact.

 

[Owen Robertson]

Fuck existing. eXistenZ is where it's at.

 

[Genericjim101]

Oh solipsism, how unknowingly egotistical. "How do I know this isn't all in MY imagination?" XD

 

[M920CAIN]

If OP reads this it means I exist for him.

 

[n00beffect]

Wow... I think you're demanding a bit too much from the forum-dwellers. That has been a conundrum of humanity's for millenia, and I don't think we'll be able to solve it here. The closest we ever got to answering this, I think, was when Rene Descartes claimed: 'I think, therefore I am', and that so far hasn't gotten us anywhere. Good luck, though.

If I don't truly exist and am just a dream, then I want to be retired right now with anything I can dream of, like my Jetpack I need. *thinks hardly* Nope, no Jetpack and I'm still in school.

If I'm part of your imagination, then give me my Jetpack now at the very least!!! Let my nonexistent life be fun at least! If you can give me a Jetpack right now, I'll accept that I am part of your imagination.

 

[Master_of_Oldskool]

I believe that I exist. In order to believe, I must think. The fact that I am thinking indicates that physical currents of electricity and equally physical chemical reactions are occurring within my brain, which I can infer from the above is also a physical thing. Hence I exist.

If this line of logic turns out to be flawed, though, I really couldn't give two shits. I enjoy the illusion I perceive to be life, so the idea that I may not actually be experiencing it is irrelevant.

Also? If I'm a figment of your imagination, then you've clearly got a truly obscene mind.

 

[LornMind]

I exist because I exist.

If you get to use bullshit solipsism, then I get to use bullshit tautology.

 

[Anarchemitis]

If the world does not actually exist, how would you have known that? A man knows the world around him exists because he is an existential creature. If he was to exist in some kind of non-existing form, how would he have known that?

Man feels wet when he is in water because he is not a water creature. A fish would not feel wet.

So tell me, genius, why do we feel dry?

Dry would indicate the discrepancy between wetness and not wetness, ergo existence and non-existence, using the analogy literally. Therefore, one would have to define "dry", or define "existence" first, before we could even begin to tackle the why.

I exist because I exist.

If you get to use bullshit solipsism, then I get to use bullshit tautology.

I think, I breath, I live. I don´t dissapear when you go, I don´t go away. I am always present in this great oblivion that is life. Either that, or I´m a spambot that got to far.

You decide.
