One year after I made the original thread, I feel it's time to once more incite the debate about proving your existence to me(and the rest of the Flood).
As in the previous thread, the "I think therefore I am" argument is invalid and presets no objective facts.
And go!

You simply can't prove anything. We all believe we are the "main character" to life and no matter how hard we try, we'll never truly know what it's like to be someone else.
-
I can't. I can only prove my existence to myself and you can only prove your existence to yourself
-
I don't. Your drunk.

There are two situations: I am not an extension of you, I am an entity upon myself. Not being of you, I am able to create this post through my own processing of thought. I created something, so I exist. I am an extension of you. However, even if this post is of your own, it is an idea upon itself. Even if this post is of you, it is an individual thought, and therefore exists.

Edited by Homo Habilis: 2/18/2016 12:04:03 AMHabilis thinks, ultimately not possible to "prove" existence. Can only establish relative probability of existence of own self. Habilis can be relatively certain of his own existence, but not of A84. A84 only really real if A84 actually correspond to something "real" out side of Habilis sensory perception of A84. Habilis assurance of own existence somewhat Cartesian in nature, as Habilis finds it waste of time to doubt own existence. Habilis cannot doubt reality of own thoughts. Maybe doubt reality, but not own thoughts. Not afraid to doubt own thoughts, just thinks doing so waste of time.

i exist so therefore i exist

How can we be sure we aren't in a simulation?
-
I exxxxxxxxxxxxxist. Sorry. "Voiceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee crack"
-
Maybe YOU don't exist, hmm? Why should I believe you? You simulation.
-
I exist to write these existing words on this existing thread in this existing comment while on this existing forums on this existing app on my existing phone while living in this existing country in this existing world, so yes, I exist.
-
I think therefore I am
-
I exist therefore I exist Checkmate, fam
-
I don't
-
Why should I? I am a phantom. Living in the shadows...of off topic. XD
-
Well if I'm typing this then I must exist
-
I type the weird letter things when signing up for an account on the Internet, those are made to prevent non-conscious things to sign up
-
I don't exist. :)
-
I'm going to attempt to prove to you I don't exist!
-
How do we know you exsist?
-
Are you?
-
It appears to me that it is impossible for me to prove my exsistence to you. As the brain can create anything or rather simulate it. I cannot prove myself to you however you cannot prove yourself to me. [spoiler]Which one of us is real?[/spoiler]
-
Cognito ergo sum
-
How about you prove to me that you exist?
-
Your a simulation
