i have a pretty good argument for this

if you are the only person that exists how could any other person possibly teach you any new information? either they're philosophical zombies in which case they can't possibly know anything, or they're figments of your imagination in which case they shouldn't be able to tell you anything you don't already know

you could argue that they're somehow segregated areas of your brain with information that you can't access for whatever reason, but then in what way are they you?
>>
>>681215830
You can prove it to yourself.
Just find something that you did not expect, an idea that was not of your own making.
Like the notion of having a peanut butter pickle sandwich. They are delicious.
Take something like that, examine the idea, and use your own damned sense and reason to determine that it did not come from your own mind.
If it did not, it must have come from someone else's mind, therefore you are not alone in the universe; QED.

What does it matter if we're "real" or not? What is "real"? Reality is defined only by the experiences and sensations that transpire throughout our lifetime. If we were some matrix or dream like you believe we are, what fucking difference would it make? You would still be the same person, living the same life you always have. It doesn't matter if we're "real" or not, because real is subjective. Look at your arguments in the context of your entire life: if you were dreaming all this, then all you've ever experienced has been a dream and there is no world that you could ever comprehend or care about beyond that once you wake up. Don't get riled up about "are we real?" Of course we are. If we weren't, you wouldn't be reading these words.

This is my theory

All human lives that existed before I was born were as nonexistent to me as a tree that is not being imagined. "To me", why is that important? Well without me to experience or imagine them they might as well have never happened. In fact the experience of all dead humans today is as nonexistent as it was before their birth.

Okay, so I am here to experience so things may be real. But I can't experience as multiple humans at a time, only as one. Literally, one. So why me? Why this one, why is the universe being made real through someone born in this generation out of thousands, a generation seemingly at the cusp of a massive technological revolution by AI?

Quantum suicide theory says the only experience to persist is the one that does persist, because the one that ends resumes non-existence. Maybe by some philosophical fucked up fact of the universe beyond our comprehension, I am here because AI will make my generation immortal.

Only when my own death seems imminent, or inevitable, can I happily declare myself proven wrong, but until then I'm still alive and experiencing.

i might read that at some point but its long as fuck so i'll skip it for now

yeah it could have, in fact thats basically a description of what people are, but why would you be the only thing that is not a chinese room then?

basically why should I be a philosophical zombie and you not?

I'm not saying you are, just that it's impossible to prove that anything is sentient just because it responds to you.

Knowing this I was just saying that your prior claim that you feel to be sentient can not be taken as proof by OP to prove that he is not the only person which exists.

i wasn't that guy

yeah it is impossible to prove, i'll give you that, but its the most parsimonious explanation

As you look at your screen, you notice text coming up in response to yours. Some of it nonsensical, some incoherent, a few genuine responses. You can come to two conclusions. One: these are crafted responses from an AI, or your mind, and everyone you meet is a figment of your imagination. Two: these are responses from other people typing on their computers, phones, tablets, toasters, cereal bowls, etc.
There is an alternative third explanation. Maybe, you're just a faggot and should kys

The line I draw between others and myself is dualism vs determinism. I know others are not zombies, but at the bare minimum they are incredibly capable self aware machines of matter. The single thing I know about myself which I don't know about them, is that my experience makes the universe real. That there is an element of my experience, realness, that cannot be resolved by observation. This is not to say others are capable of raising these ideas and falsely believing the same about themselves.

That's horribly flawed logic. On an analogical note, if I were to say, "I bleed gold. There is no sound evidence that I bleed gold, and despite the fact that everyone else bleeds blood, I still believe that I am somehow exempt from this universal law of bleeding." I have reason to believe that you simply haven't some to terms with your mortality.

Learn to philosophize... None is "us" exist and neither do you. The "self" is a feedback loop that got so good at recognizing external patterns that it learned to recognize internal ones. The self means absolutely nothing

>>681232124
Maybe so, but the fact of the matter is that solipsism is irrefutable.

As far as your "argument" I just don't see the point. It doesn't refute any of OP's points, just introduces speculation.

Perfect example of newton's flaming laser sword. When coming across two theories, in which both can not be proven to be true or incorrect, the most logical choice is to assume that the most logical answer is correct

i'm saying that in order to know something something must be conscious. and there are things other people know that you don't, therefore they must be conscious, and not part of you

now you could argue that you can learn information from a computer and it doesn't need to actually know the information, but the person who put that information into the computer does

there are also procedurally generated things in a computer, but i'd argue the person who wrote the program that generated those things is the one that is really delivering the information to you

>>681215830
So, I do not exist?

Again, there doesn't have to be intelligence behind it, merely a sufficient amount of time to produce "meaning" out of numberless iterations of random product.

Here's another book that addresses the argument I'm talking about:

>It seems that you're dismissing the most critical part of my statement. I think, therefore, I am.

i'm not on his side but he really wasnt doing that. you knowing that you think and therefore you are doesnt prove to him that you are real.

cartesians infer anothers mind from speech and reflexive conversation and new information but really its only a comfort, they have no proof but faith. OP clearly doesnt have the same faith.

philosophy is just religion. it all comes down to faith, and theres no point arguing about faith because no one will ever change their own.

>>681235976
Nope, I think the rules apply to me as well and that there is no way that I can prove or disprove even my own existence.

It's entirely possible that sentience as I realize it, and I use the word I knowingly realizing it may be meaningless, is merely a trick of the light as energy is deterministically and temporarily, and I say temporarily while recognizing that time may or may not exist as a meaningful concept, caught in a loop before dissipating again and leaving no trace of the theoretical being which may have been me.

Prove to yourself that you exist.

Suppose you are the only thing in existence. Therefore all your perception is all of reality. There exists nothing outside of what you perceive to be reality. Therefore everyone on this site and the site itself exists within you. So tell me anon, why are you trying to convince yourself you're the only one in existence.
>>
>>681236746
so you think that you are procedurally generated, everyone else is procedurally generated, and because you can't know for sure if they are conscious as well as you, then you must not be conscious

that seems like kind of backward reasoning, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to extrapolate what you know about yourself to others like you? rather than extrapolating what you don't know about others like you to yourself?
>>
>>681237622
Not saying that I am, just that it's possible that I am, and that proving anything about it either way is functionally impossible.

I'm not extrapolating anything about others to myself or myself to others, I'm saying that it's functionally impossible to prove anything to apply to myself or others in the first place, including their or my own existence.
