Exactly. Like an imaginary friend. Although he isn't real, he definitely exists within the mind of whoever it is that is thinking of him. Even if I am within someone else's intelligence and my own intelligence is controlled/produced by the higher intelligence, I still very much exist.
[spoiler]this may seem convoluted but I assure you, we're barely scratching the surface. Take some philosophy classes if you ever get the chance, it's a really great experience [/spoiler]

I dunno. Interesting stuff for sure. Gets you thinking. But it seems like a lot if circular logic. Of course, the internet is a bad place to learn things. Lol

Edited by Sheogorath : 2/11/2015 5:26:38 AMHaha, Sorry if it seemed circular :) rule no. 1 in philosophy is to have very linear logic. Let me put it this way, Anything that is observed exists to the observer > Something that exists any cannot come from something non-existent > You know that you exist > You observe the writing on your screen(the writing exists) > The writing is a product of something (that also must exist) > That something (whether it stems from your own mind or is independently existent) exists > Therefore, I (that something mentioned above) exist. [spoiler]PS, I meant taking a course in college of some sort or school. Internet courses aren't the same... [/spoiler]

Edited by A84: 2/12/2015 4:12:46 AMOh I know. But it all seems pretty circular too me. And bases off of assumptions such as that *a* [i]has[/i] to exist to *b* because *b* creates *a* to make *b* believe in *a* so *a* has to exist.
