This is a trick question because we do not "exist" for say. Due to the fact that this all can be an illusion just a state in which our minds have created. So I don't exist, you don't exist, no one actually "exists"

    No. Something exists. There is one(or possibly more) existent intelligence, or there are many(or rather, we are [i]all[/i] existent). But, this is where the paradox comes in: Dreams. Illusions. A reality separate from what we may call the "true reality". If we are an extension of conciseness, or some intelligence's projection, then we are a "dream". Yet, "we" experience dreams within dreams. So, we could be "living" in a multi-layered "reality". We peel back one, only to find we are still the extension in yet another dream. Until finally, the intelligence wakes up. Then what? Do we blink out of existence? Or rather do we awake ourselves, and find ourselves real, and that [i]we[/i] were the true intelligence? Of course, this is all needless banter, as it is all based off of assumptions and guesses and wild ideas. However, we must operate under assumptions, no? So why not assume there is more than just "we all exist"?

  • I like it. This is a good theory. We do live off assumptions. Now this is what I consider proof for this kind of question. Nice.
