A laughable question i guess, but it seems a question that should warrent a scientific response. Think the obvious films like Matrix, Sixth sense, others, and the truman show. They all deal with a general theme that seems quite outlandish and fantasy like. But the simple facts make many people wonder the same thing. How can we prove the world is real? It simple to say "well pinch yourself and see if you feel it, or touch a tree and see if it seems real, but what if all these scensations were programmed reponses? and in reality we are indeed machines that funtion by the same principles as other machines, they require a power source, fuel etc ..

So back to the original question, how do we scientifically once and for all prove one way or another that what we see, touch, smell, feel and taste is indeed real?

ALthough I realise Marcuse was talking more on Marxist theory, it would appear that he and the movement he was part of had postulations aimed at stopping societies entropy.
Where theology is interesting, political and social theorists / philosophers acknowledged a more practical route for our hopes of society.
Nowadays we have Bradbury's Farenheight 451 coming true all around our reality obsessed world where the one dimensional man who desires 'fame' seems omnipresent.
Are there thinkers out there writing now postulating suggestions ?
A bibliography or pointers would be a great start.........

What i've found is that everyone has a certain craving for drama in their life. Everyone, at least subconciously, tries to start something or is attracted to something that, ultimately, is not good, healthy, or conducive to a peaceful life. For example, telling someone something that you KNOW will make them angry, and doing it anyway. A vauge example, but hopefully some great thinkers can post insightful answers to this question.

Are we just attracted to bad things? Is it possible to live in a truly drama-free, peaceful life?

A friend of mine is a professor, and surprised me when he said that there is no such thing as individuality! I said of course there is, but when asked to prove it I couldn't without relating to something or someone else (his proof). Help me out folks. I need a solid argument here.

For example, if you murder someone, even with dna, no one could prove which twin did it.

I have a problem holding a job. I can easily get one, but just won't go. Can anyone help? I get great jobs, great companies, great benefits. I have lots of bills and I just don't go to work. I am a christian ( re-born ) and relize that laziness is a sin. I pray about this and I still stay home. I am clueless why I don't go, I am not rich, but it has been an issue my whole life. I am 30 now. This has got to stop. please attempt to answer, especially those who have had similar problems. Thank you for your time.

I really can't give an example of a band because that would get the answers off a tangent arguing over the popularity of a band. Anyhow, I would say a band like KISS or the Rolling Stones would be a mega-band.
