So what you're saying is that technically you exist whether or not it's your own intelligence or another's. But wouldn't that just mean the intelligence is really the existing one? Since it's the one basically typing and saying the words.

  • Exactly. Like an imaginary friend. Although he isn't real, he definitely exists within the mind of whoever it is that is thinking of him. Even if I am within someone else's intelligence and my own intelligence is controlled/produced by the higher intelligence, I still very much exist. [spoiler]this may seem convoluted but I assure you, we're barely scratching the surface. Take some philosophy classes if you ever get the chance, it's a really great experience [/spoiler]

    I dunno. Interesting stuff for sure. Gets you thinking. But it seems like a lot if circular logic. Of course, the internet is a bad place to learn things. Lol

    Haha, Sorry if it seemed circular :) rule no. 1 in philosophy is to have very linear logic. Let me put it this way, Anything that is observed exists to the observer > Something that exists any cannot come from something non-existent > You know that you exist > You observe the writing on your screen(the writing exists) > The writing is a product of something (that also must exist) > That something (whether it stems from your own mind or is independently existent) exists > Therefore, I (that something mentioned above) exist. [spoiler]PS, I meant taking a course in college of some sort or school. Internet courses aren't the same... [/spoiler]

    Oh I know. But it all seems pretty circular too me. And bases off of assumptions such as that *a* [i]has[/i] to exist to *b* because *b* creates *a* to make *b* believe in *a* so *a* has to exist.
