Bet you can't. You can't prove that you're really you.
EDIT:
Stop using the argument "I think, therefore I am." argument. It does not present facts.
EDIT 2:
1000 posts and still no proof. C'mon Flood!
EDIT 3:
Stop asking me to prove [i]my[/i] existence. That's not the point of this thread.
EDIT 4:
I know that there are actual theories and beliefs that we are all(or, more correctly, one or a handful of us) just an intelligence and everything else is a projection in a dream state. This argument that I have used in no way represents my views or beliefs.

If we are the same beings it is difficult or near impossible to show one another that we do indeed exist. We could do anything only for it to be reciprocated back, proving nothing. We as people know we exist because we dream. Its as simple as that. Dreaming holds us together nd its something that cant be shown on the outside for proof. One must dive in to experience it. Dreaming pulls us from our scattered realities of false imagery nd show us that anything can occur. Us coming out of the dream back to "this" is how we know we do indeed exist. Be careful where you dream tho. One must not linger for too long. Read The Art of Dreaming. Tell me im wrong after.

The situation I know not, but shall I be believe to be real one such will be reward.

The problem isnt that i dont exist, but that you dont exist and you are just a figment of my imagination

If I am a constructed object in a computer simulation do I exist?
-
Well if you watch family guy like I do I know as well as you should that that it was mayor mc cheese who was shot not jfk. Is that good proof
-
Depends on how you want me to prove it
-
If I take your wallet and you file charges against me, then you agree and have confirmed to others that I exist AND I took your wallet; because if I don't exist, then I can take nothing from you. :D

Edited by H2O: 1/5/2015 4:43:42 AM-Throws [u]Meditations on First Philosophy[/u] at OP- I don't feel like trying to explain Descartes to anyone. I had a hard enough time explaining it to myself. EDIT: I think, therefore I am only applies to the individual, not people other than him, so trying to use that to prove your existence to anyone other than yourself is pointless.

I deserve a box.

It is impossible. No one can ever be sure they exist.

Edited by Un1337ninj4: 1/5/2015 4:43:53 AMWhy would any-one go through the effort of creating this many profiles under the moniker "Un1337ninj4"? And why the hell would three pics of the same guy pop up as the first images among Google images that are used for that user's various profile pics? Oh, and I would not recommend going through said Google image search unless you wish for me to stare through your screen.

I....uh..... >.> <.< *throws down smoke*

I exist because I typed this.

To further substantiate the "I think therefore I am argument" consider this: if I didn't exist neither would you or any of existence itself. From my perspective, your existence nor anyones has any meaning without mine. If I didn't exist there would be no meaning to any of human, plant, animal, or even the entire universe. And when I die, it will remain the same FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. Same goes for everyone else, unless everything is just a product of my consciousness.

If you really think about it, there is no [i]real[/i] reality, it's all a perception of the world seen through your eyes, my eyes, or anyone's eyes. there is no one [i]true[/i]reality for all, we all see things different.

IM YOU

You are asking me if i exist, and by saying i dont exist is assuming that you know what existing is therefore i am real and you are to

This is too vague of a question.

The only true wisdom is in knowing that we know nothing

I think, therefore I am
