[QUOTE=benos;21182232]Well, I'm not real. I'm just really happy for ya, but this was the best reality tv show of all time.[/QUOTE] "In case I don't see you ... good afternoon, good evening, and good night."
[QUOTE=livelonger12;21181983]That's just a simple statement with no entity reading that data. The difference between you, I and everyone else here is that I can actually read the data my brain produces whereas the rest just produce a response abiding to a set of rules (i.e. they can only output - there is no "they" since they merely produce a response, whereas I can actually read my input arbitrarily).[/QUOTE] So why are you arguing with yourself then (or the AI / whatever you currently believe created this system to fool you)? If this is true what can you do about it? Also, try proving to us that you're real and we aren't in some VR simulation or imagining you. You sound quite disturbed. If it's all imaginary, then seeing a shrink couldn't hurt, could it?
If we are all fake then just go along with it. You couldn't do anything about it and you were fine before you decided we are all fake. Worrying about it won't do jack shit is what I'm saying.
Just kill yourself. If it's a simulator, you'll reboot.
what if my life is all just a dream and this thread is a message from my mind telling myself to wake up
[QUOTE=limulus54;21181897]the simplest way to disprove this is that it takes more then one molecule to store the information to simulate one molecule, so the computer to run this simulation would have to have a hard drive consisting of more matter than there is in the entire universe, plus the extra storage to describe the rules of the simulation (physics). of course that could just mean that the creators live in a universe much much larger than ours, but thats going to get you started on "well what if...." until you idea is totally impossible and even more unrealistic than it is now.[/QUOTE] But if we live inside his head, then the laws of physics don't necessarily apply to "reality", only what he's perceiving as reality. For all you know, the hard drive could be molecular sized.

Now here's a thought: [I]What if you're wrong?[/I]
I actually thought this before. I also thought that the world was optimized, like everything I couldn't see, wasn't there. I really don't know what I was thinking.
Here's a question for you: What does this have to do with politics?
When I was 11 I thought the entire world was fake and that my life was a reality TV show. When I was 12 I became not religious and an atheist, I suppose I didn't think of it as much until a few months later, I became all depressed and shit realizing that when I die, it won't mean shit. Then, and I'm still not sure how, I've become okay with all of that. I'm 15 now. Life is fun, and it's all very real. Even if it's a simulation, for all intents and purposes it's real, and more so, if it's a simulation, life is probably not the focus of it.
Is this the real life
Everyone is real, except the OP. The OP is a new android currently undergoing testing, there appears to be a malfunction in the androids perception systems.

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism[/url] Your argument is: "I think, how can others think?" Ponder for a moment the absurdity of this claim and switch the burden. How can you prove we DON'T exist? Consider it from an external viewpoint. If -I- am the only conscious being, then you can't be conscious. It is impossible to prove or disprove either scenario, so instead we go with the more logical one. Since you can't sprout angel wings and fly that means you can't "control" this reality, even if you are the only conscious beings. This essentially means you should treat others as you treat yourself, a slave in this perpetually false world. If it is false, that is.
Every single post in this thread has been by the exact same person, just trying to trick and deceive you. EVEN THIS.
Yeah, I used to think the same. The fact that lots of pepole in town are resembling other. There is a guy who looks like george clooney but with long hair. but there are many others. It's creepy sometimes. Even I have a look alike. :tinfoil:
wake up
Meh. Im more concerned about what happens when we die than if im real.
I've actually thought this before in my life as well, but it only surfaced during depressing times, so I knew it was only paranoia brought about by fear/sadness. [editline]03:59AM[/editline] [QUOTE=shadow_of_intent;21181829]Honestly, who hasnt thought about this?[/QUOTE] This.

Just listen to emo music and attempt suicide. That'll wake you up from your dream.
I've though this before as well. I find it hard to picture myself in someone else's shoes. I cannot imagine myself as someone else controlling a different life. I don't know for sure if everyone is real or if all this is just one massive simulator. Don't think about it too much and don't let it effect your life.
I am not real
Probably been said before but I'll say it again if it has and I'll do it in a college bro way, Doesn't matter if they shit ain't real bro. Why? Because you are living in this world. You could be in the matrix, you could be in a dream, but as long as you consider what is around you reality it is reality, bro. Consider this. You live in the matrix. Cool, cool, it's the matrix bro everything is green. Unfortunately it's not 'real', or is it? Well the truth is that if you live in the matrix then the matrix is more real to you then the real world is. Why? Because YOU LIVE IN THE MATRIX. Even if everything is fake you still exist and make decisions based on stimuli from a theoretically real place, even if it isn't real bro. Everybody around you could be a extremely elaborate hoax put on to you by the man, man, but it don't matter. Someone said it before, "I think, therefore I am". You're real bro therefore everything else is too even if it is not. If you consider others are real they're real bro! If you don't well then it still don't matter because nothings going to change if you don't. People will still be real and you'll still be a paranoid schizo. You could be a red balloon floating in space, or the tits on Jenna, but the reality is what you make of it. If you're a balloon then the reality you experience floating around is more real then the reality you could conjure up in your head being real. Bro.
