Prove your existence.

If you prefer, you're that tiny little doubt about his spelling manifested in the form of an internet forum comment. There's still no proof that you're anything more than a tiny fragment of the OP's mind/memory.CODE-D said:
If I was a figment of my imagination, I never would have imagined myself having this many weird fetishes.
Prove to you that I exist? I can't. I can only prove to myself that I exist.
But can you disprove that I exist?

Well there's two ways of looking at it.
Dubito ergo cogito ergo sum, or you simply ask yourself if the events you are watching are progressing in sequence. Dreams do not advance in sequence as they ought.

I kill therefore I am. It doesn't matter that if I exist or not. As long as i affect you.
Alternatively: I am God for if I don't exist you don't either. You are part of my imagination.

The whole world is a dream, we're all fictional, including you. After all, how can you be so sure of your existence. I'd like to throw in the concept of chaos magic to this philosophical quandary you're in: Your life began at conception as the product of two different lives, these lives, for one reason or another brought you into the world. The concept of a hypersigil to me always rings out more along the lines of "our minds, and thoughts can shape reality" which further proves it's fictional nature if we can control the narrative (we've all experienced moments where we were focusing heavily on something and then it happened, people can play it off as coincidence but to me that's just silly, as I'm sure my views as it being part of the nature of reality seems silly to others), but then what does that say about our easily manipulated lives? Back to your parents, for 9 months or so you were probably all they thought about, and for a good deal of your young life, and most children can say the same (sometimes lacking that young life part), so who's to say you're not just a hypersigil created (unknowingly) by your parents?
I propose that all the people currently existing on earth are concepts forged by their parents that eventually gained enough momentum to shape their own concepts (though some people never make it to this stage) and as such further their own version or reality. As all the layers of the billions of people on the planet collide this is a very difficult thing to see, but I feel that there are enough clues to support this to the point where I'm basing most of life and actions on this concept.
I hope this reply indulges you're desire to fuck with your own mind and concept of reality, as these feelings should always be explored. In a way you're the one who wrote it really, I am merely an echo of your feelings of existentialism.

I'll let the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's chapter on the universe explain this one.
Area:
The area of the Universe is infinite. Infinity is a hard concept to grasp; the Guide gives us this definition:
Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real 'wow, that's big', time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.
Imports:
None. This is a by-product of infinity; it is impossible to import things into something that has infinite volume because by definition there is no outside to import things from.
Exports:
None, for similar reasons as imports.
Population:
None. Although you might see people from time to time, they are most likely products of your imagination. Simple mathematics tells us that the population of the Universe must be zero. Why? Well given that the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are. Any finite number divided by infinity is as close to zero as makes no odds, therefore we can round the average population of the Universe to zero, and so the total population must be zero.
Monetary units:
Although there are three major units, (The Altairian Dollar, the Flainian Pobble Bead and the Triganic Pu) none of them count. The Altarian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeble for other Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.
Art:
None. Because the function of art is to hold a mirror up to nature there can be no art because the Universe is infinite which means there simply isn't a mirror big enough.
Sex:
None. Well, in fact there is an awful lot of this, largely because of the total lack of money, trade, banks, art or anything else that might keep all the nonexistent people of the Universe occupied. However, it is not worth embarking on a long discussion of it now because it really is terribly complicated. For further information see GUIDE Chapters seven, nine, ten, eleven, fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, nineteen, twenty-one to eighty-four inclusive, and in fact most of the rest of the Guide.

Maybe you cease to exist too? If you are just a portion of his mind, then killing him would be akin to a suicidal urge being fulfilled. I wouldn't risk it, just in case we do all live in a little world that's comprised entirely of OP's fragmented psyche.CODE-D said:
As I'm a figure of your imagination please take the time to consider the following requests:
Please can I be cool in your dream and have a beach house and a giant beach ball and can you also allow me to meet the dream version of Clint Eastwood? Would be eternally grateful if you could change your imagination hamsters to make this cone true..
OT : how the hell am I supposed to answer this question, I only know what you know..!?!
