So this is supposed to be the way to prove that you exist. Well, it proves to me well that I exist, but as for others, it doesn’t work as well. I mean, couldn’t a hallucination just as easily tell me that it thinks?
This is just a small part of my personal theory that nothing really exists but the conciousness, and that it forms a reality simply to maintain sanity. I try not to talk about it too much, cuz it makes my head hurt. Heh. Plus, it’s probably just the insane ramblings of a madwoman. But hey, I’ve yet to see indisputable proof that I’m wrong.
Have you any reason to think that others are your hallucination? If so, what are your reasons? (That others might be a hallucination is no reason to think that they are, or even that they possibly are.) So that others might be your hallucination is “theory” only in the sense of unsupported speculation. In that case the only conclusion which follows such a speculation, must also be an unsupported speculation. And, that is what your view that only consciousness exists is. (I always thought that if you believe something, you ought to have a reason for believing it, and that it might be true is not such a reason.)
I’ve thought about this one for some time.
And I have decided that it dose not prove that ‘I am’
But what dose it matter if ‘I am’ or not. Will it ever change anything?
What dose mean to me that ‘I am’ is that others think I am. If someone recognizes me and acknowledges my presence then here I am I am something weather it is fake or real I have an effect therefore I am.
People acknowledge “imaginary friends” and it changes there thinking or what the do. How can they possibly not exist?
Or a God(ess(s) if someone makes a decision based on what they “tell” him/her to do how can it not be. How can it not exist?
I guess you have to have my definition of exists.
