How can I prove that everything I see really exists and isn’t just an illusion/ image created by my brain? How can I really know that once I look away from something that it is still there and doesn’t turn black? I thought about the mirror, but maybe the image in the mirror is also just created. The people I hear talking behind me could also be gone but I only hear the audio and once I turn around they appear visually. I thought about using a camera but the content that is saved on the camera could also be fake.
Can someone tell me how to prove that others really exist?
How can I really know that people are responding to this question and not only AI? I have absolutely no proof that this forum could be real. Look at ChatGPT.
I have so many questions.
I sometimes wonder if I existed before I was born. not consciously as me but probably just the physical elements combining in a billion different ways until boom. consciousness. i was in a coma for a couple months and after returning to consciousness the progression of time without me was very apparent. I have no doubt the physical world I perceive exists when I’m not looking. vast quantities of time and random coincidences where stable conditions made me possible. 12 up, 9 down. this crosspost continues to exist
