    Have you ever thought your life was just a dream or an illusion?

    In my philosophy, you're always wrong. I think I can convert some people to my philosophy, too.

    Ok, cool, good luck with that.

    Hey, you're not the first person to come at me with philosophies that are technically correct but so unlikely and impractical that it's hardly worth talking about.

    A kid in high school used to insist that it was impossible to go from point A to point B, because mathmatically, you had to go half way. and then half way from where you are now to point B again, and then halfway again... Meaning there was was always a small fraction of distance you'll never travel. Which I disproved quite easily by claiming point A was where my hand was and point B was his face. His response was that the Points A and B are physical objects and no two things can occupy the same space.

    So as long as we're bringing up Solopsism, I figured it'd be a good time to point out my philosophy. You're always wrong, Dr. Dude. True because you can't disprove it, and that's enough to warrent it in being in text books next to evolution, devine creation, and the flying spaghetti monster. Q.E.D., bitch.

    Our world is a product of our senses. If we lack the sense of sight, we have no concept of color, or of what things look like. If we lack the sense of hearing, we have no perception of sound. If we lack the sense of taste, food is just a mushy, tastelss mass in our mouths. If we lack the sense smell, we are unable to distinguish between foul and pleasant odors. If we lack the sense of touch, the physical world becomes nonexistent. If we lack all of these senses, the everything around us ceases to exist because in no way are we aware of it. If we cannot be aware of anything, we cannot be aware of ourselves, and thus, we become nothing, along with the world around us. (Of course, all these senses would have to have been lost before birth. Any loss of sense after birth would result in vague memories of those senses.)

    That's my philosophy. And that's why I believe that when someone dies, that's the absolute end. I do not believe in souls, or an afterlife in either Heaven, Hell, or any other mythical place. I believe that ghosts, angels, spririts, or demons are all products of illusion and hysteria. (The events in the Salem witch trials? Mass hysteria.)

    Maybe nothing exists, maybe everything is just your illusion, then that coin did not just land on tails, meaning you did not disprove anything.

    As ridiculous as that sounds try and disprove that.

    There's no point to disproving it, because it is irrelevant.

    Let's assume, for the purpose of the argument, that you are the only sentient being in the universe, and everything you experience is an illusion. This illusion is perfect. You have no means of determining whether or not you experience reality or illusion.

    From your standpoint, this illusion *is* reality -- it is all you perceive. Given that you are trapped in this illusion, that it gives no sign of vanishing to leave a different reality exposed, the intelligent thing to do is play by this illusion's rules.

    I never said it was relevant, I'm just throwing my two pennies at people.
