Mithril_Max Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Once I had a dream of Eminem rapping "Without me" to the Benny Hill soundtrack. Searched it the next day and it turned out a version exists, to great effect! :P I guess we're figments of your imagination then. You created Eminem's new song with your mind. Therefore, you have control over reality. hey can you realease halo 3 early? If it were up to me, after Halo 2, there wouldn't be a Halo 3 ;) blasphomey!

dwarfdude3 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 whoa, I thought of this same kinda idea of not existing around 5 am the first time I pulled an all-nighter. That was fun. But anyway I suppose even if we aren't real, we should still think we are real so that we have something to base everything off of. You need some kind of constant in anything.

aquariusman Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Do you think you are the center of the universe and we are all just your creation? Yes. I do not think I am the centre of the universe, I think that a super massive black hole is the cantre of the universe. I am conceited at times, however this question only came from a chain of thoughts and I thought i would be a good topic for discussion. Basically, I was either wrong, based on the the amount of people waying I should just stop thinking about it, or I was correct, based on the fact that in the space of a couple hours, this thread gained four pages of posts. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

Oy_the_Great Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I believe in Descartes quote 'cogito ergo sum'. But in what form, or if all this what we perceive is real, that's something we can't be sure of, although a scenario like ÃÆÃâÃâàla the Matrix seems highly doubtable to me. If it was true however, and I would not know, I wouldn't care either. I'm living the good life, if I'm serving as a battery or if I don't know the real truth doesn't matter to me. Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

somthing Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 The scientific reason for this feeling is because every thing, everyone we see is really upside down, our eyes are mirrors, if you don't believe me, do an internet search on it, so according to aliens, we would be spider people... :D :D I am an alien dudes!

He's talking about how our retinas (or whatever part of the eye, learned this months ago...) flip the visual information to make it coherent, but that's only after it's already been flipped just from viewing it. So it's like unflipping a flip really. So ya, he probably was going around Wiki, read it, and didn't think about it too much :| .

warri0r45 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Whether we all exist in what we think is real, you all exist in my mind or I exist in one of your minds, we all exist. Whether we are real in the conventional sense is irrelevant in this case. ... I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "scientific" reason for his opinion is that he uses aliens as a form of [outside] observer to us who "see everything upside down". He thinks that aliens would think we're spider people, 'cause apparently his logic lead him to think we walk upside down too (however relative that is) since we flip the visual data as it goes to our occipital lobe in the back of our head. Walking upside down=spider people. Or spider pig, whatever. So ya, that's his logic.

darkforaster Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Maybe. No one can possibly know for sure. But i believe we do exist. If we're just forms of energy or real life forms, I don't know. But we definetely exist. Overwise we would not be able to see, hear, touch, smell and taste. these senses prove our existence and other existences. Unfotunately in some cases our senses are decieved and we see things that are not real. But what our mind wishes us to see. That is a false reality. We must confirm what we see and hear by touch. in order for something to exist we must acknowledge it. We do this using our senses to decide whether it is an illusion or reality. With acknowledgement comes reality. Watch noein and you will understand. Lumbridge and it's past.

underu2000 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 There was this certain Chinese poet/philosopher who dreamt he was a butterfly, only a butterfly and not a human, with no memories of being a person. Then he (butterfly) went to sleep; he woke up and realized it was just a dream, that he was a human. So his question was, is he a person dreaming he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was a human? Knock yourselves out with that one. : Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either.

Sumpta Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't think it matters if we exist or not. It's our perception that matters. We perceive ourselves as thinking and existing matter, so we behave as thinking and existing matter, which is fine by me. Not much use in pondering about things you can't possibly know. I'd rather break my head over other things, problems that need and can be solved. Obviously, I'm too practical to be a good philosopher :).

The Dark Lord Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I just finished watching Neon Genesis Evangelion... Im all done questioning existence.. those last 2 episodes would melt your head if you thought about them for too long. OH MY GOD! I love that anime! *points to sig* I can't wait until Rebuild of Evangelion comes out to the U.S. On-topic: If solopsism is true, none of you exist. That would mean that I could manipulate the perception, correct? So I'm going to test this. I just caused everyone to die and the souls of everyone just formed a new entity. The world is now black and has a reddish hue. In 1000 years, the world, the sun, the moon, the solar system, the galaxy, and the entire Universe will fade away. Time will restart. Oops. I guess it didn't work. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
