1. You assume a verificationist theory of meaning.

eom

[AWD]

2. You post, therefore you are

[Rick Myers]

3. Yes.

Something approximating 'you' manipulated technology to the point that a post appeared here in your name. QED

[CatWoman]

4. Hey!!!

aren't you Lebanese?????

How's the weather over there? :D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. It's gettin hot in here...so take off all your clothes

:D

[Kellanved]

6. No

As far as we know only your pseudonym exists.

We can only believe in you

[sweetheart]

7. well, nothing shocks me any more

about whether or not you exist.

What writes us if you don't, a huge big brother AI computer that is every moniker on this board except you? Maybe the touring test has been sorted out and nobody told you.. ;-)

Just we keep repeating ourselves when asked to postulate our own existance or lack thereof.

[rucky]

8. A Zen master...

Would smack you upside the head to illustrate.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. What is the sound of one head smacking?

[oneighty]

9. You think

10. lol I actually saw this in WWII video game

NSMA if you didnt exist why would I being having this silly conversation with you, lol those are the exact words of the German except the German thought him and his comrade were characters in a book and the name wasnt NSMA.

12. Is there any proof that the rest of us exist????

Perhaps you are the only person, or 'thing' that exists, and you are IMAGINING everything else? For instance, you IMAGINE that I wrote this, but in reality you created 'me', and everything else, in your own mind.

What if everything else disappears, suddenly??? :evilgrin:

[KamaAina]

13. I feel an existential crisis coming on

If you don't exist, that means I've been torturing myself all this time over nothing!

Is this the birth of a new philosophy: "dys-solipsism"?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. we are all our own torture

15. To be or not to be....

17. If a tree falls in the forest...

[Cheswick2.0]

18. I have never seen you

and who is to say that someone is not writing the posts attributed to you. Hmmmmmmmmm :shrug:

[Sinistrous]

19. Proof positive.

I see a face in the smoke cloud every time I start my lawnmower, and the little voices in my head tell me it is you. How would they know it was you if you didn't exist?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. How do you know the little voices are in your head

Maybe you are in their mouth :shrug:

[Sinistrous]

22. Or,

maybe your picture is in my ear and they are just singing about it.

[SOteric]

21. There are some dents in the hood of your car

which tend to suggest it.

[haele]

23. Yes! I saw you once or twice...

But I'm not sure if that counts for anything, as once or twice I've thought I've seen a Sasquatch up in the backwoods of Washington State, and I could swear I saw "Monsuire Le Baron" in Charleston, SC as well as "Bacchus" in San Diego...

Hmmm, come to think of it, I could have be seeing things that aren't there again - After all, there are all sorts of legends of mysterious, sexy brunettes in ghostly white convertible Mustangs all over California that start spontanious parties...

24. I'll bet you even think you are posting to me now!

:shrug: Silly humans you are all so gullible!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

25. No, there is no proof you exist, because you don't exist

No, there is no proof you exist, because you don't exist.

Neither do I.

[geniph]

26. There's DNA evidence

on the hood of my car!

[kixot]

27. All is illusion.

Nothing really exists, we posit that it does and play the game pretending.

[lazarus]

28. Is there any proof

That you even asked this question?

[short bus president]

29. got any half-clad pictures of yourself to post?

that might help a lot.

;-)
