Welcome to Philosophy 420, an introductory course to such topics as, "dude, everyone is walking around with, like, a skeleton inside them," "what does air look like?" and "how do we really know what's really, like, real, man?"

When we get to this level of pretentious philosophical discourse there is only one course of action. Punch yourself with as much force as you can in the face, and immediately after think whether the pain could be a figment of your imagination.

Of course all that is in fact unnecessary, because you didn't just punch yourself in the face, did you? Why not - because you knew it would be painful, you knew it would hurt, you knew the pain would be real, and that your real actions would have real consequences, therefore you know that life is real.

Boomshakalaka.

Am I actually sitting at my computer desk typing this, or am I sexually pleasuring a rainbow space turtle whilst he sips a bowl of gin? I guess we'll never know.

Dear members of the escapist. It has come to my attention that all of you are merely figments of my imagination and this entire sit is an elaborate ruse created by my own mind.

So, tell me. How would one dispute these claims?
I refer you to the meditations of Descartes who established first the non-existence of all things (including himself) and then built it all back up from the ground up using nothing more than mere logic. That work has already been done for us by better minds.

Actaully, the entire universe is my sister's hallucination. Your psyche, sentience, sorrow, happiness, body, mind, and soul are all part of her mad vision. My sister is a dark and eldritch beast.

Oh, and by the way, this isn't orginal. nearly everyone has thought something like this somewhere along the lines. Good job on making a thread out of it, though.

DAMN YOU DIRTY NINJA!

But yea man descartes. Doubt everything. Even doubt whether you're doubting. But if you are doubting then you are thinking. So therefore your consciousness must be real.

he had me up until there. After that he pulls some proof of the existence of god out of his ass. And that is where I say: screw this shit

captcha: panic button, it think it is time for that now

Take a picture, show it to a friend to figure out if you're right or not.

No the question is not do we exist. The question is does it matter if we exists?

I am going to say no.

Clearly, right there, the bolded part numbskull. This is all the evidence I need that this site indeed does exist. Because this is a site not a sit.

I won't try to dispute those claims. I can't prove that I'm not a creation of your warped psyche.

Also, I think you should start setting fire to things.
