Define existence.

2019-02-13 01:59:52 UTC  

Reality is that which exists; the unreal does not exist; the unreal is merely that negation of existence which is the content of a human consciousness when it attempts to abandon reason.

So is there any significant difference between a brain in a vat and a brain in "reality"?

2019-02-13 02:01:56 UTC  

I found trash books at one of my Barnes & Noble

2019-02-13 02:01:59 UTC

Is there a significant difference between Neo in the matrix vs Neo in the "real" world?

@halfthink Im not hear to answer questions about things that dont exist

2019-02-13 02:04:07 UTC  

How do you know what exists?

2019-02-13 02:04:38 UTC  

“Maybe you’re wrong” is an accusation that must be supported by specific evidence. It cannot be uttered without context, grounds, or basis, i.e., arbitrarily.

2019-02-13 02:04:51 UTC  

I know because I perceive it

2019-02-13 02:05:06 UTC  

So there's no difference?

2019-02-13 02:05:09 UTC  

Through my senses and then apply it to non contradictory identification

2019-02-13 02:06:23 UTC  

Onus of proof is on the person making the claim, dude.

2019-02-13 02:07:11 UTC  

If you don't have an argument, then "maybe you're wrong"

2019-02-13 02:07:12 UTC  

Third wave feminism is garbage. However, I do see positivity in the first and second waves before this unnecessary third wave came.

2019-02-13 02:07:51 UTC  

God, you are evasive

2019-02-13 02:08:35 UTC  

You accept the premise yourself

2019-02-13 02:08:46 UTC  

Proof presupposes existence

2019-02-13 02:10:38 UTC  

Maybe the misunderstanding was earlier then. What do you mean by "evidence"? I assumed empirical evidence from that.

2019-02-13 02:10:48 UTC  

Yes

2019-02-13 02:11:01 UTC  

Through your senses

2019-02-13 02:11:52 UTC  

So how do you know the sun exists?

2019-02-13 02:12:04 UTC  

Because I perceive it

2019-02-13 02:12:16 UTC  

Do you know it exists outside of your mind?

2019-02-13 02:12:40 UTC  

Yes, if I have knowledge of it before its out of my focus

2019-02-13 02:13:30 UTC  

You cant know of something you dont perceive or hear/read about

2019-02-13 02:13:43 UTC  

So would you consider the sun in the matrix as existing outside of your mind?

2019-02-13 02:13:52 UTC  

Which still has to be perceived

2019-02-13 02:14:06 UTC  

I dont remember the Matrix

2019-02-13 02:14:19 UTC  

I watched it a long time ago

2019-02-13 02:14:37 UTC  

For a dude who lives in a computer program.

2019-02-13 02:15:01 UTC  

We dont live in a computer program

2019-02-13 02:15:15 UTC  

How do you know that?

2019-02-13 02:15:36 UTC  

“Maybe you’re wrong” is an accusation that must be supported by specific evidence. It cannot be uttered without context, grounds, or basis, i.e., arbitrarily.

2019-02-13 02:15:54 UTC  

Onus of proof is on you.

2019-02-13 02:15:54 UTC  

We have no evidence of it
