I don't exist

[Zero132132]

Thought processes are based on a bunch of neurons in your brain firing in sequences to produce some output patern that is categorized as either thought, or behavior. Logic is the use of thought to attempt to correlate ideas with each other based on similarity, causation, effect, and possible outcomes. Since it's only based on the firing of neurons, we can't really be certain in any way that logic/reasoning/all thoughts are related in any way to reality. Logic isn't necessarily right. Thus, the old Cogito Ergo Sum bit might not mean anything. It certainly seems that there's a correlation between existing, and being able to do anything, but this correlation can't really be proven without assuming it's true (IE assuming you and the universe around you exist). I don't buy it. I'm not here, I'm not writing this, and you're not reading it. I'm just a figment of my own non-existant imagination.

Just because logic may not jive with 'reality' doesn't mean you don't exist.  

I don't see the connection there.

you should try the barstool experiment.

tip #14 - a paragraph will never prove your non-existance to others

Beat me to it.

Barstool experiment > alot of philosophy on the nature of reality.  But that sort of philosophy is good if you want to start worrying people for a while.  How do you know you aren't a clone business, traits of being, why cant the Universe have been created yesterday and so on.

I don't necessarily think that I've proven I don't exist. But I always take it as safe to assume something doesn't exist unless you find some proof that it does, and since nothing quite seems provable to me, I'm mostly convinced that I'm perhaps a figment of my own imagination. I say mostly because I still try to eat.

These are the same people who say "You don't know if you can fly until you jump off a skyscraper"., or,"the bullet can't hurt me if I don't believe it exists".

If I don't believe the bullet exists, but the bullet believes I exist, does it still rip a giant hole in my flesh?

Damn skippy.Bullets don't bother with philosophy.

There's only one way to be sure though.

Yeah, I am not really suicidal and my hormones set off these giant rage attacks, so if I decide to check out this theory, the bullet will be going into someone else.  Unless the Fartknocker doesn't get a deer, then maybe I could go deer hunting with my sister or my Hispanic friend, they both know how to kill, deer that is

That wouldn't prove anything to anyone though, I could very well be a figment of someone's imagination.

Besides, I believe in bullets.
