Well, mzzz didn't green me so I don't think he exists.
Maybe this whole thread doesn't exist.
Truth? I DONT know you exist. I cannot prove it without assuming other things exist by which to define you with, and I cannot prove they exist either.
Interesting thread to start...should be fun! I imagine these subjects being tackled in the gardens of Greece, contemplated by great philosophers. But I BELIEVE you exist, therefore you do. For me, that is.

I initially worded it this way to avoid bringing me into it:What we believe is immaterial, do YOU believe you exist Mzzz?
Or are you prepared to wait on the mass delusions of this forum to will you into existance??
Do you, generalized you, believe I, arbitrary but fixed identifier, exist?
But I thought that would be too confusing so I didn't. I don't care about personal subjective concerns, just wanted to discuss the idea of existence independent of any specific person. Just the topic in general.

You believe I do.
As for the rest...
Even though I said no smartass answers...still....

Actually..........blind faith is serious answer, not smartass. I have sheer blind faith that you exist, so in my mind you are real.
YES. In fact, with at least ONE point in time and space taken as "real", you can build upon that.
This is a good subject, not really answerable.

Did you expect me to miss that dodge??? ROFL!!!
All proof in hand leads me to conclude that your objective existance is more probable than you objective non-existance.
You post rarely
You have your own "style"
You are capable of initiating discussion
Bad choice of example then bud
It's a question of belief and "proof" working in concert IMHO. If I can plant my foot in your arse and kick it, then you are "physically real" to all current definitions, If I cannot do such a thing, Can I "metaphorically" do it? Yoo can debate, so I can "metaphorically" do so if required. Ergo, you exist.
To Me.............
As for "subjective reality", well, it don't mean shit what anyone else believes, Do YOU think you are real?
