Well, you assume thay everything else is real. Why arbitrarily assume that people aren't?

>> No.10172105

>>10172044
"real" is just a concept to grasp your own existence. You're no more real than anyone else is. Reality doesn't exist for someone who doesn't believe that it does, nor consider reality.

My best proof of someone elses realty: a conversation, or looking someonedeepinto their eyes

Why can't we use the same argument?
>Because I don't know you actually think
And we don't know you do, so you still have to prove you exist.

oh no, the argument is that he has to prove he exists to himself, I don't give a fuck what he thinks of me or I think of him

I see someone just took philosophy 101 lmao.

Theoretically, nothing be truly "proved", we simply work within our limits of observations, and assumptions. Scientific inquiry is based off these assumptions, and helps our consciousness better utilize our reality.

You can only know that you exist,

>>10173770
You don't know you exist, yourself. You (and the OP) can't prove you're "real". (Or human. What is a "human" anyway...)

>> No.10174146

I am noticing a disturbing lack of Heidegger in this thread. OP, read Being and Time. if you can understand it, then you'll know you're 'real.'
