How do we prove that we exist?

Never mind, I checked my last posts, and found the board... it said nothing was posted in 120 days... what's up with that?

 

i exist

 

Prove it

 

I just did, you saw my post, replied to it, therefore I exist. My interaction with the world and your ability to interact proves that I exist, even if it is all in my head, it is still existence.

 

Yes, but all this interaction is because we're using the internet......maybe we're all connected to a super computer controlling our life's as we see it

 

Then we exist, even if it is only through the internet. I play games on my computer, download ROMs, they exist don't they?

 

0's and 1's man, 0's and 1's........

 

if you can interact with it, then surely it exists, it can change your mood, your perception of time and your knowledge. Surely that means that it exists, even if only as magnetic charges on a disk?

 

Would if I had a dream with a person that died? I would be interacting with them, it would change my mood, so forth, so on. Does that mean they exist? Nope.

 

So dreams don't exist? When you think you dream, you don't actually have a dream? Just because you can't touch something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

 

Okay, don't even start suggesting that dreams exist, they're obviously just random memories put together by our brain and nothing more.

And I wasn't asking if the dream existed, I was (rhetorically) asking if the dead person did.

 

Well I guess they're really put together by your subconscious. I can't recall ever having a recurring dream before.

 

So you don't believe your thoughts exist? That when you wonder "Do we exist?" You're not really thinking it? Surely by trying to prove that you exist, proves that you exist, on some level anyway.

 

I heard about a theory saying that they is another planet and on that planet, there are people that look exactly like us and doing the exact same things that we do. I heard about it, but I dont believe it

 

Trying to prove that we exist is like asking George Bush to recite the Constitution, it can't be done.
