RE: An Existential Twist of the NPC MEME: The Fine Line Between Auto-Pilot and Cruise Control
Oh my, what an interesting post. Myself, I've always doubted everyone else's existence. I'm the only one that's not an NPC 😮 I also ask people to prove that they exist and are not just a figment of my imagination. Nobody has been able to do this as of yet 😮
LMAO all this shade! I do like how everyone has a different view in these uhm... spirited debates!
To follow up on @cryptosharon, there was a time where I believed myself to be the only one to exist. I have changed stances since then, but I don't see any harm in believing it. Nobody's running around murdering clones over this <3
It's not that I believe it. I just have no proof that I'm not and therefore, as much as I assume that everyone is real, I cannot be certain.

Heck, half the time I don't even know if I'm real. We can believe anything we want to believe ^^
Careful, you may be fragmenting your psych into split personalities by refusing to believe in your obvious reality.
I wish you the best, and with that wish I would ask that you stop and muse to youself :
"I think, therefore I am."
This is most definetely a true statement, thus proving your existence.
Well, I know I exist. I just doubt you do. 😊😊😊

How would you know you exist?
Follow what Abraham Lincoln said: Me tink, me egg zist.

What if you're not thinking yourself, but you're a mere vessel for someone else thinking. Like does my ethernet cable think when information is passing?
It could believe they are it's own thoughts.
I've thought of that. There are plenty of exciting and not-so-exciting possibilities. But I would exist nonetheless regardless of my nature.

A very good answer. I was hoping you wouldn't think that far, but I'm content with this :)
Why were you hoping I didn't think that far? 😰😰😰😰

Is the narrative you, and if so, how can you be both aware of the narrative and be the narrative, so whos hoping and who's thinking and who's aware of those things?

What would you take as proof?

Lol, I don't know. I don't think it's possible. We only perceive stimuli and these could be spoofed on the way to our perception Matrix-style. Everything could be spoon-fed lies for all we know.

So, in other words, you're not really seeking for that confirmation because you are already convinced of the answer, granted that I don't know [what would qualify as proof] isn't the same as your perceived impossibility of such proof.

Kind of. I always want someone to change my mind from a view of the world that I'm convinced of but do not like.

And what's stopping you lol?
You know what's interesting about flat earth theory? When I ask people what the end game or the purpose behind such a vast conspiracy, nobody knows.
So let me ask you this: what is the purpose behind the completely monumental conspiracy which not even flat earth could compare to in its grandeur, of spoofing you to believe other people are as real as you?

I don't believe anyone is spoofing anything, just that it's a possibility. And what's stopping me from changing my beliefs is the simple fact that you can't just change your beliefs whenever you want. You can't believe that the water in your glass is dark blue if you see it and it seems clearly transparent.

I didn't ask if it was possible though but whats the purpose. You're saying that you don't see others as real as you, but you've no qualifier for what that proof would be or any idea of what would be a qualifier but you believe that they aren't really real based on what then?

I'm not saying people aren't as real. Just that I can't verify it. I don't know what would verify it and I don't think it's possible, but if it were, I'd like it to happen.
Dunno what the purpose would be. 👀 Ask them. I don't believe in flat earth either because it just doesn't seem to make sense to me as a theory. But to each their own.
