How do I know you're real? (No idiots please....please)

While you brainaics are pondering mysteries and theories, could one of you answer me this.

If Grandma had balls, would that make her Grandpa?

She might just have ambiguous genitalia.

If you pay me $100K I can take you to the next level of awareness....

Why would you start a thread then disqualify everyone on the huddle from responding to it?

since i don't know if you exist or not, then if i kill you, you will cease to not exist. therefore nothing changes from the standpoint of your existence. can i kill you now?

You're late, we already did that.

Nobody dies... Life is a simulation. A game if you will.

At the end of the game you get traded in at Gamestop for something else.

Something has to be real...

Nothing has to be real. We could all just have downloaded thoughts being processed by machines. Think terminator meets the matrix. We all could have been dead long ago and are just part of an complex algorithm.

What's "real" and what is not "real" is totally up to your perception.

But then the machines would be real.

Somebody took the red pill.....

yea.. well whoever ate the red pill needs to tell me how Morpheus keeps those sunglasses stuck on his face? I mean... there is no way they could just stay there without anything holding them up, yet they continue to hang there on his nose.

Itss called Solipsism. ITs basically a theory that the only person that is sure to exist....is me. I can preceive myself, therefore, I must exist. Even if I 'really' exist in another reality (maybe this life is a simulation or a game) I still must exist. You, and everything else in this life or reality, I can't be so sure. Anyone that has ever downloaded a FPS, and palyed, in a typical game with 12 players, 3 of them will be bots. The bots are sometime more intelligent than the actual players.

Anyway, I encourage you to google 'solipsism' and the 'simulation theory' if you're bored or whatever. Its good to think about..

Is someone taking their first College philosophy/theory of knowledge class? It's interesting stuff for sure, but easy to argue against.
