this could all be fake

all part of a fever dream

You can make models of it.

I think therefore I am Prodigy

You can test stuff and reference it with others.

hitting us with them Decartes powah

exactly @Dr.Wol

If it's all a dream, go and pour some boiling water on your hands.

we can try and understand, and if there is something, then some people are closer to understanding it than others

If it is a dream, simulation or else, it still follows some rules

Cogito Ergo Sum

how would I know if the water is real?

or just my brain imagining that it's real

You wouldn't.

exactly

if we are living a dream, then reality is that we are living a dream

your reality is contained within your own mind

But if it's irrelevant to you because of that, you wouldn't mind either way.

This is why I need to connect my brain to a machine

Just want to double check

hot-sauce doesn't "incinerate your tongue" but it still burns cuz the substance activates your pain receptors

So either it is relevant to you, which makes the point whether this is real moot, or it is not relevant, in which case you shouldn't be so hesitant.

so to say "pain shows its reality" is arguably false

Honestly, the more I read yalls rhetoric

I begin to feel my IQ drop

I can feel pain from an imagined event

😛

Does that make it real?

just like mint doesn't actually make water colder, it makes your temperature threshold different, simulating the feeling of the water being colder @Dr.Wol

really interesting stuff

yes

This shit is literally retarded

> Does that make it real?

The question is irrelevant.

I love it @Cody

lol

And in the end it will have been a meaningless debate

Well, no. It only makes my pain simulated.

also the pain makes it real Uksio

if a bro gets cock-blocked whilst he nearly had the hottest girl in town, and we're all rooting for him

we ALL feel his pain 😉

aren't they all meaningless tho?

what do any of these debates change

pretty much nothing
