But do you feel that you exist? Ignore my other message until later.
As I said, presumably. The matrix concept can't be denied though, so you know I can't say for sure
Ok that's reasonable, doubting your own very existence. So let's see what it means to doubt your existence, how can you prove to yourself that you exist, is there a test? If we are being rigorous and scientific, and objective, we need to experiment. We need to test the theory, the alternative and the null correct?
Yes. And as Descartes and many other have demonstrated, as I deduced on my own - we can't
We can't prove were not a brain in a jar. We can't even prove our thinking is correct.
Everything begins with the assumption that we do exist and realist is logically consistent. But it is an assumption
