Nope, I can't. For all I know, I could be someone's acid flashback. If so, I hope they keep trippin' for a good long while, 'cause I'm having some fun here...

If I didn't exist, you wouldn't ask 'me' whether I can prove it. By answering I prove that yes, I so exist and obviously it is not just my physical body!!

Why don't you attack my physical body and see how my defensive spirit responds using physical force to get your attention. I exist because I say and act that I do. Real is when that bruise you created turns black and magenta!

I can prove that I exist. But I can't prove that you exist. Why the hell am I answering this question?

how can you prove that i do not exist?
i am typing, and letters are appearing on the screen......... but that could only be an illusion..........or right now, i may be crawling among the bushes, hiding from the people who want to take me back to the asylum
i could be thinking that i am typing, right?
so, that means it is YOU who dont exist....... MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

"I do not exist" is a true statement
"I" refers indexically to the unique, existent person [Quine-Russellian analysis] who formulated the sentence.
---------------------------
"The unique existent person who wrote this sentence does not exist" is always false. Either it is meaningless, because it is an assemblage of letters that appears to have propositional content, or the object does exist and claims falsely.
Therefore, It is not the case that "I do not exist", or "I EXIST", if there is any meaningful proposition at all.

No I can't but does it actually matter whether I exist or not? Our identities shift all the time, and its best to try to be comfortable with that..

The "illusion" of this two-by-four in my hands might convince you that I am indeed real if I swatted your derriere with it really hard. Otherwise, the guy that paraphrased Descartes pretty much nailed it.

I do not exist, because I am not named "YOU". Neither are you, you are not called "YOU", so therefore, no one exists.
RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOUR NAME IS YOU!!!!!!!!!!
You exist, I know, but your name is not YOU so you do not exist, but partially, you exist because you asked this question. I do exist, because I am myself who knows she does exist. You do. The world exists. Realize it..................
