I don't know if anyone is real anymore... - General

[QUOTE=Shoupie;21181615]So basically, you are the center of your world now. People are going to think you're an asshole.[/QUOTE] Having existential thoughts like that and being narsistic has nothing to do with each other. Human emotions and instincts override conscious thinking, so you have to be (at least slightly) mentally ill to be completely self-centered. Humans are built to think of "the bigger picture"

[QUOTE=limulus54;21199072] I've explained this before. you can't simulate the universe. it takes more than one molecule to store the data needed to simulate one molecule, so both the storage and memory of this computer would take more matter than there is in the universe.[/QUOTE] What if you have a streamed simulation of the universe or have minuscule representation of it?

Nah, bro, [i]you're[/i] part of [i]my[/i] mind. You don't even exist at all. That goes for the rest of you.

[img]http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sheeple.png[/img] This. It's called self-centered, or just having sort of.. different... beliefs.

OP is Neo.

OP should have realized that this thread will get him nowhere because he believes that everything is made up, therefore all these posts are 'posts from scripted entities' or something. Whether any of this is real or not, you are still here...in [U]this world[/U] (real or fake). So just enjoy the ride, don't question it, some things are better left alone...

OP trolls for lulz.

True so true, ever since i saw the matrix.. Nothing has been the same..!? "/

I was thinking the same thing a few days ago. I went on a whole spree of wonder. Am I real? What is real? Why am I here? What is the purpose of this? Etc. I have too many questions.

CRITICAL ERROR: PROTOCOL 034253452-A IS MISSING! Call tech support! Nah, but there really is no way of proving or disproving the consciousness of another life form. Unless of course, you are a neurologist.

[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] hey guys im so philosophical and smart i think im the center of the universe

I don't think of what OP said and why we are here, but I do think of how we all live our lives through work and such yet we are just a tiny little planet in the universe. Mind fuck.

Rate me late, I know, but I think he's trolling. I mean, the other day he said he thought aliens didn't exist and America was the most important entity in the universe.

Wait a minute, but someone prior to you made a thread just like this. YOU MUST BE A ROBOT!

What would be the purpose of this?

I still have it in the back of my mind.

OP is a dick Whenever I think about stuff like this, I dismiss it a second later as bullshit.

You don't. Does that clear things up?

Hmmm, i kept thinking this too. Last year.

I used to think like this back when I was six or seven.

Like I posted on page two, in which you never replied, OP, I asked if you thought we were in some kinda Fallout 3 simulation, uh, that old timey place where you find [sp]dad[/sp]? If it's like that, then we would all be a person, but a different person. All conscious, but not here, not knowing, except a few who could remember the outside world. Highly doubtable though, I just think you're batshit insane to be frank, :v:

Yeah, don't worry. Everything you sense is wrong. You're actually strapped up to wires in some government lab with people injecting chemicals into your mind that control what you feel, taste, see, and think. (get that checked up with those nice men in white coats)

Yes this [i]is[/i] your imagination. You are the reason why there's this [b]poverty[/b]. Why people are being [B]raped[/B] and [B]killed[/B] ever day. You've condemned so many people (they might be figments of your imagination, but regardless) to live in a state of [B]eternal horror[/B]. You fucking asshole. You psychopath. Wake up! Get me out of this fucked up dream!

Heh when I was younger I got paranoid after watching [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120382/]The Truman Show[/url]

No one can prove that we really exist.

Dude, youre like, not even real man
