Topic:
Are you real?
|
|
My question to you would be why are you thinking along the lines of solipism (or being fooled by some other beings). Is there some reason you have to feel that this is the way things are? Or are you just considering it simply because it's an obvious possiblity? It was my older brother who started me thinking about these things when I was about 15. He'd often ask me to prove to him that I was real and I never could. This always stuck with me. Then when I was in college I met up with some friends who liked to discuss this and similar themes. At the risk of sounding crazy, I'll say this: during the time when we were talking about this a lot there were two films that came out that heavily involved the subject - Dark City and The Matrix. It seemed to me at the time that these films were made purely for me, like they were clues sent by a force opposing that which controlled everything. I even thought that my friends were hints too - cheats, like in a computer game. Sh!t, this does sound nuts, I can't explain it well - it makes perfect sense in my head, but when I try to explain it to someone else it always comes off as sounding totally crazy. I almost deleted this, but f*ck it, I'm gonna hit post reply. |

I'm a TNG nut - never really got into any of the other series (including the original - shame on me, I know), but the trailers for the new film look great.

They'll never be as good as the classics, but Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain were brilliant.

Thank you Abracadabra
I'm going to confess my ignorance and say that I've never even heard of the word Solipsism before. I'm checking it out on wikipedia now and it seems it is exactly what I'm on about. I know wikipedia isn't 100% trustworthy; if you know of a more reliable source of info on this subject I'd be glad to hear about it. |

How do you know I'm real? All anyone sees is words and pictures on a screen
Have you ever spoken to a computer that can respond to you with such accurate and relevant responses? Computers just aint this good. A computer would also unlikely be programmed to randomly say BOLLOCKS, for no apparent reason. But that would be part of the illusion, wouldn't it? |

1. Define what you mean by exist. Ok, by exist I mean that you are a thinking, feeling, human being like (all BS aside) I know I am. For all I know, you and everyone else on the internet could be part of a computer program, designed to answer as a real person would. I think I need to say here that I'm not actually insane I'm not trying to start a battle of wits either. It's just a topic that interests me a lot.
2. By my way of thinking, if you respond to me, that very act is an acknowledgement by you that you recognize my existence. Does it? You could still be a program. How do you know I'm real? All anyone sees is words and pictures on a screen. To take it further, how do you know anyone, in "real" life as well as online, is real? Once they're out of your field of vision they could, for all anyone knows, cease to be. Like a computer game - the program only draws what the player can see. I think it's truly impossible for anyone to prove to somebody else that they exist. If anyone can, please do so! I don't claim to know everything and I don't mind being proved wrong (in this case it would be a joy to be proved wrong!)
Bring on the proof folks!
3. If you fail to respond to me, I'll take that to be an indication that you may very well have ceased to exist.
Your move. 
Geeze, why does this feel like the opening of a game of chess?

righteous solos!!!!

when i first heard led zeppelin's 'whole lotta love' solo i crapped my pants. i then spent the next 3 weeks perfecting it. i still love that solo. it comes out of that hazy weird interlude with a hammering drum roll leading to a fuzzed bluesy solo. excellent. Same here, I love playing along to that'un. As for Voodoo Chile, I don't even bother trying to play that anymore. I'll never be as good and Jimi and I accept that. |
