I've always
wondered about the thought exercise suggesting that reality is just a figment
of each individual’s imagination; the idea that there isn't any proof that
anyone outside yourself exists.
I think,
therefore I am.
I look at
the world, though, and see plenty of people just as sentient as me. Unless, of
course, I bestow that sentience upon them.
I think you
think, therefore I think you are.
Hmmm...
Then I look
at all the people who express ideas that don’t contain so much as an ounce of
logic. That’s enough proof for me.
I couldn't
possibly think of an idea as stupid as that, even in the pretence that I was
thinking on behalf of a figment of my imagination, therefore you are.
Problem
solved.
If there's any subject you'd like to see me ramble on about, feel free to leave a comment asking me to do so.
Unless of course, your subconscious is making those people up so that you will feel that much more logical and intelligent. This would conveniently stroke your ego making you a happier person. On the other hand, maybe you subconscious is just bored and needs a few laughs. It may even write comments on your posts and post them just to spur you on to write more inane ramblings.In fact, your subconscious is probably writing this note right now and you yourself are actually rebutting your assertion in this post. I am not, therefore you are.
