I am the only one

[Davey]

Something I was thinking about, and want to know other people their thoughts.

When we see something our eyes sends a message to our brain and creates the object we see. The same goes for all the other senses.

Which means, that the brain makes up everything... even the people around you. So you exists, just in my brain. You are not real and I am the only one...

You are not real and I am the only one...

What if your brain makes that up, too? ;-)

Are you by any chance reading Karl Popper?

 

[Davey]

lol... I don't even exist...

No I am not reading anything... just my own thoughts (Friday).

Your brain creates the perception of the object. Your consciousness reacts to the perception.

To go directly to questioning the existence of the object is to skip the step of questioning your perception.

(You might like the first few chapters of "Systems of Buddhistic Thought". I'd loan you my copy but Mars Man has it).

sounds like solipsism ( Solipsism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

It's a fun mental exercise to flip the world on its head and re-interpret things, but it's usually just like going on vacation, I always come home to my comfortable world view.

Interesting read, let me read some more of that.

Share your thoughts with us how you come home

It does indeed sound like solipsism (dammit NG you beat me to it!). The fact that you are having these thoughts, Davey, only reaffirms my belief that I am indeed the only one and you are all just constructs of my mind.

Where is Mars Man?

 

[Mike Cash]

Close to Jupiter, farther from Uranus.

It is very strange, I though that all You are hallucinating veggies in a stomac of intergalactic goat? Hallucination is a part of diggestion, helps keep You steady. Now I did realise that I am part of Dave's nightmare, don't even know good it or bad.

Old russian joke:

Doctor: Patient, could You tell me, when did You realise that You are a God?
Patient: Doctor, I am very religious man. I am speaking to God all my life, and ... two weeks ago I realized that I am speaking to myself.
