So I exist

[Garson]

And I believe you should all be aware of this. I've been lurking for a while but figure I might try my hand at participation. Mother always encourages that sort of thing.

Welcome, young sir Bates!

Just jump right in, no one bites except for *****transmission interrupted.

 

[Grayman]

I bite but its not infectious and will heal.

 

[computerhxr]

Welcome!

... is waiting for the "prove you actually exist" comment ...

 

[Jennywocky]

... now no one will ask that, for fear of not being original!

Or maybe they will.

How dare you call me a coward!


OP

So! How do 'you' know 'you' are even real? How do 'I' know? There is no proof.

... boy that was easy.

Come on guys, you are just projecting insecurities about your own nonexistence onto Garson. I, for one, think we should all take a lesson from his fine example and strive to make our own actuality a reality.

Welcome, brave pioneer!

Such wank.

I encourage everyone to not follow my example. I exist only as a vessel for uncertainty and insecurity.

Even better.

I don't see much evidence that you exist. You claim you exist, but beware of the sound of one hand clapping. This means for every argument there should be a counter argument... nothing is absolute. So how do I know that you exist? 3 posts is hardly enough evidence.

It's better than almost 2000 posts of no substance. Prolific posting doesn't establish anything besides a general background presence, not much better than the kind of wallpaper that furnishes a room. Sure it's all over the place, but it contributes nothing that can't be provided from some other wallpaper.

For every argument there should be a counter argument? What does that mean? Should I prove I don't exist while existing, just to prove that I do? Or prove I do exist when I don't? I'm posting on this forum so at least the forum exists. Should I also provide arguments as to why it doesn't exist?

Grayman lights the strawman on fire muttering.... facts arent arguments... but if you're a sophist there are no facts...

Mmm... I like where this is going.
