Poll: Do you think that you exist?

[Russian_Assassin]

Yes, I think I exist. And I feel weird even considering otherwise.

If I am a product of someone's imagination then I would like to know who it is, so that I can kick his ass and wear it as a hat for making me live through such misery as the last and probably the next, 3 months were! Seriously, FUCK YOU guy!

 

[TheHitcher]

nah, I highly doubt anyone really exists.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I think the opposite way, sometimes I wonder if the entire universe is a fabric of my imagination, and if I'm the only sentient being in the thing that is "existence".

 

[BuckminsterF]

Probably, but reality (or at least meaning) can only be found in the phenomenal realm, not the noumenal.

I believe that we exist until we think that we aren't. Perhaps, if I considered that I was not actually existent, I would simply vanish into thi

Perhaps he was dictating?

I generally try not to think about it, but when I do, I just think "cogito ergo sum".

I think this, too, but that just leads me to more problems.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

I'm sure i exist, because that carpet burn was definately real.


Ow...

 

[bigolbear]

i do not exist.
conversely
I do exist.

My reason.

'i' implies a singular creature. Biologicaly humans are not single creatures. we are symbiotic ecosystems. This is one of the main reasons I beleive in the soul (yes i did say I - confusing huh) you see because i have a sense of self, an identity, an ego if you will (oh what an ego ;-)) it must be necesary to have some singluar mind form controling this ecosystem that is the human body. In retrospect as the planet we live on and expanding out wards out to the entire universe could be said to be ecosystems is not feasable that too have minds controling them as we have our sense of self - are we merely a part of the whole of this planet like the bacteria in our gut or the cells in our blood a part of ours.

ok kids philosphy over, go put the pink floyd on ;-)

 

[JanatUrlich]

LOL everyone has Truman Show moments but I think that overall, my life isn't interesting enough to be either someone elses imagination or a tv show or whatever

 

[Julianking93]

I can't prove my existence but I believe I exist. I think, I speak, I feel therefore I believe I exist.

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

It's simple. It is The Matrix.

 

[soundoflights]

I exist in the same way that the word exist exists.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I am conscious of my self and fully aware of my surroundings furthermore; others seem to be aware of me and my presence therefore, this one must conclude that it does, in fact, exist

 

[Mrselfdestruct]

I can see my hands so I probably do exist. I think I have a face too.
And a keyboard. That exists too. Yes. Yes yes yes. Damn I'm thirsty, it's a good thing this drink next to me exists. Refreshing.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Would any person care to explain how a self-aware consciousness could NOT exist?

 

[Disaster Button]

I never used to think I was but then I realised that if I'm not real then why is everyone else here? So I think I'm real.

However, this thought raises another one, are we real in the world we exist in with someone pulling the strings of all of us or each one of us, or simply putting data into a giant computer, or are we truly real and nothing else?

/0 now i don't anymore

I pressed it the instant before I vanished. I recently just got back from the negaverse, by the way. That's where you go when you decide to think about nihilism- Oh shi
