reality debate?

lets argue what constitutes reality.......

1. the vcr hypothosis: loosely stated that time dosn't flow in a linear form so much as will flow in the form of ripple eddies and currents providing a "play", "stop", "fastforwar", and "rewind"....

2. greater consiousnes hypotosis: maybe our collective existance isn't real so much as someones collective thinking...?

Re: reality debate?

Well, what is reality to you loki? When someone says reality, what does it mean?

Our failure is obvious, we had our foot on the throat of Humanity and we failed to step down hard enough.

Re: reality debate?

not to mention the fact that all forms of reality are due to perception not anything scientific "I think therefore I am" doesnt really allow for a presentable debate despite how intriguing it is to a select few.

Re: reality debate?

lol..

I can doubt, which is a form of thinking, something cannot come from nothing. Ergo something must be doing the thinking. Cogito Ergo Sum.

It's another person proving their existence to you, thats the tricky one.

Re: reality debate?

its all a figment of your imagination. Maybe your making it up :shock: maybe some evil scientist is posting it into your brain!

You might not have posted it Corran, your sense could be deceiving you. :lol:

There is no proof of the external world Corran. Imagination and the mistakes of sense data do away with it. (I am going a bit solipsist, but meh..all to prove a point.)

You cannot prove your laptop, or the forums exist. Hell..you cannot even prove to me you exist! You could just be a satellite personality, or a fragmented mood existing within my own consciousness trying to get at me. Who knows?
