Like how do I know if I'm real or not
How to know if I exist?
Falling into your wing while paragliding is called 'gift wrapping' and turns you into a dirt torpedo pic.twitter.com/oQFKsVISkI

Why does that concern you?
just curious is all
Well, ok... if that's the case... you can't really know for certain. Can't really rely on all the input you're getting being true.
You aren't random LULZ bot.
Real in what sense? By the act of observing, existence is made material. You are an observer. You are observed by other observers. In the most objective sense, you exist by fact of being observable and being capable of observing. What more basis for existence could you want?
What if we're just lying to you, anon?
It's trippy but, has anyone else ever been inundated with just weird coincidences that make you question things? It's a little schizo, but things like my (rather small, irrelevant) hometown showing up in a chan thread, or making the news, or my humdrum home state constantly showing up, just stuff like that. There's no good reason why these mentions would be made, nor that they'd be made in a time, place and format that I'd be exposed to by happenstance. It makes me wonder sometimes, not to say I have the hubris to believe I'm the "main character" or something, but it's weird is all.
Humans are really good at noticing patterns.
I guess so, even false patterns, or patterns that exist but don't correlate to causation. It's just weird man. I've never had a supernatural or outwardly strange experience at all, no ghosts or aliums or anything that wasn't easily explained, yet the coincidences mount sometimes. Makes you think.
When I think about something weird, often it becomes a LULZ thread too. It's scary. It's like the people/god outside the simulation is trolling me
you exist because you are conscious. It's the only thing you can't doubt.
>conscious
What is it?

sounds like a derivative of the kantian argument that space is consistent and systematic because otherwise it would be impossible to perceive different things in the same field of view
Yikes, gents.
To make the question worth answering, you kinda have to find a way that it will change your lived exoerience in some way.
That's not really available, so
What's the downside to acting asif you are real? What would be the reason for it to be prudent to act another way?
Its as real as it gets, dumbass. Deal with it. Dont matter how real that is or isnt.
There is no way, just roll with it
This kinda thing reminds me of philosophy majors. It doesn't actually matter and has no practical benefit.
it matters and has practical benefit, you just don't see it because the consequences of philosophy are hidden many layers below everyday life
If they're hidden seems like they're not used very often.
wrong
retard
stop giving a shit about philosophy now, it's over. You're in a society that only cares about money and gaining capital. your homosexual major or studies isn't useful or will be needed in society anymore. It's over for you.
even my last digits say 996 the Chinese work week because all that life matter now is work and fucking money.
i make money because i have to but i study philosophy because i want to
youll see in the future when they won't give a shit what you like. have fun working at mcdonalds forever
Philosophy major
You get a job in philosophy yet?
put a finger in your ass
does it hurt? you're real
does it not hurt? you're gay
