can you prove i exist????

Question

can you prove you exist???

ya that i doubt therfore i think therfore i am crap
that dont work


what makes you think that i am not just a computer making a response or a figment of your imagination or you are a figment of my imagination

mabey i am an alien in a game???

well this is a philosophy page isnt it
well i still havent been proved i exist
if i punch myself how does that prove i exist?
pain dosent prove i exist it is a feeling so i would have to prove feelings exist but i cant and it is all perception i could percive pain with no pain being inflicted upon me couldnt i???

mabey it is just like in the matrix???

who says a machine wouldnt want to prove its existince mabey it does? mabey i am part of a computer program to a computer even bigger than myself put here to ask dumb questions??

mabey a computer we (assuming we exist) are used to wouldnt create responses like this but what if we are part of a bigger computer unfamiliar to us that can have thought and controls our thought by making us think we control our own thought and giving us a perception of thinking and living????

Answer 1

You think, therefore you are. Actually, you're the only thing in existence. We are all a figment of your imagination.

The proof that you are not a computer program is that no computer program, I mean, NO computer program, would be that poor of a speller.

Answer 2

OK, here we go, and this applies to both of us. Whether you are a figment of some imagination, a character in some dream, or a child of some God, you exist. The proof of that lies in the fact that, no matter how you came to be, right now you have obligations and dependents to be tended. Your existence is proved by the fact that you either pay your bills, comply with the law, and conform to the morals and mores of society, or you wind up under a bridge, be it real or imaginary, cold, hungry, and alone.

Answer 3

Existence Exists

Answer 4

Unfortunately, you exist because:
1. A machine wouldn't care about its own existence.
2. An alien would have to be smart enough to travel to Earth, therefore it would not ask questions like the one you asked....

Answer 5

You typed a message. I read a message.

Before i read this no you didn't. Not to me atleast. Either way you and i would have to exist to be trading thoughts, whther it was in a null, void, or dell..

if im replying back, i exist to you, and those who are somehow networked with me. just like now everyone i am networked with, you now exist to.

otherwise we never would have known you were a person

even if you died, you still existed. The thought was there, even if the soul isnt anymore

Answer 6

well if you are having sensations then you exist. strictly speaking, i can't prove to myself or anyone else that you exist. i can prove i exist because i experience, and if i didn't exist there wouldn't be any subjectivity to experience. but again, i can't prove that to you or anyone else. even if i were a part of a bigger computer that controlled everything and my entire existence was an illusion, i would still be certain that i exist because of my ability to experience.

Answer 7

punch yourself in the face . think for a moment . ask someone to punch you in the face . think for a moment . you should now have your answer . pain combined with thinking , if you have this , you more than likely exist and so does the person who punched you (sorry it couldn't be me existing in front of you , but the puncher should do just fine) .

Answer 8

You exist, we are all a figment of your imagination.

Answer 9

DeCartes thought so. Cogito, ergo sum

Answer 10

yes by sending this answer is enough evidence that i exist. ya man. would a computer give you this in its response??? does it fool???!!!
