caught in a landslide
[QUOTE=livelonger12;21181487]Recently, over the past few months - a concept that has embedded deeply into the roots of my mind, has over shadowed my beliefs in reality. I no longer believe that other people exist other than me and feel that I'm merely in a form of simulator, dream or physical environment in which everyone (including all other entities that appear self-conscious) are merely pseudo self-aware entities. I also feel that this could be some kind of game in which everything - the environment - is autonomous but features additional plug-in points from which I can provide input.
I'm wondering if anyone can prove to me that they actually exist against the above conditions and can also give me absolute proof that they're not scripted and exist as an actual self.[/QUOTE]
well what if someone answers a question you dont know like a sum?
Well, no-one can prove that you are or you aren't.
on a different thought, even if you somehow were to wake up and find out you were part of some crazy experement, how would you know THAT was real? How are you supposed to tell reality from fake reality?...You cant.
What you're talking about is solipsism. If no one else exists, and they are merely apparitions conjured up by your own mind, then this means that all knowledge possessed by anyone, originated within your own mind. However despite this, you require a language in order to express you thoughts, and language is a device created to communicate with others.
I feel insulted by these insinuations!

Stop watching the Truman Show.
I've thought of it before.
Nothing you can do about it. So just go on in life.
I've sometimes thought that I and I alone am real, but living in my mind. Therefore I am dead and this is the next life I live in my mind, and each time I die, I am born.
But I got over it and live my life to the fullest, hurrah for two year on Facepunch!
I'm real because when I smash my head on the keyboard from dumbshit people, it hurts.
(Not implying OP is dumb.)

No escape from Reality.
IF YOU DON'T READ ANY REPLIES, READ THIS ONE.
We are not "scripted" but modern neuroscience has proved that all our emotions and decisions are simply reactions to the environment. And no, this is not a "stage" of your life, it is simply the pondering of your existence. I ponder my existence everyday, and if the universe AND humans are simply systems of cause and effects(E.X. Life is a complex system on biochemical reactions), then a catylist must have, per se, " set things In motion". This simply furthers my belief of a divine being. I wish I could talk to people like you everyday, you make me think.
And, oh yeah, don't try to be a modest bastard( like me ) and doubt your theories and ideas, spread them.
The final boss is the pavement, you can only beat him by head-slamming him from a large height.
Im not really here, im really 10 years ago on the bottom of the pool. This is all just an hallucination/dream and i'm dieing.
It's 100,000 points!

It has to have a weak spot.
OP, jump off the cliff, it will cut off the simulation and you will wake up to reality. It's true, I've done this.
:downs:

Im just a poor boy!
I need no sympathy!
Because im easy come, easy go.
Sorry for interrupting the spontaneous musical, but to the OP: if we're all figments of your imagination, then what you are doing right now is arguing with yourself. So I (which would also be you) demand that you stop it.

Little high, little low.
No OP, I'm afraid I'm the only real one here, YOU are the fake one.
