I'm thinking of like test subjects, guinea pigs :) I see you like to post threads about religion, so I'm guessing that's what you're going after. If God is real, then he is infinite, in other words, we as humans, might be one of his test subjects, running real life simulations on us to see how we evolve and stuff :D

Nah, I just made one thread about religion. I'm agnostic.

Ooooh... Hmmm... Well, ok ;D You can count me in on that one as well, following the wise words of the great Neil Degrasse Tyson :D

the world doesn't exist outside of your own mind. Everything you do, see, feel, touch, smell, taste are all your mind converting electrical signals and telling you what it is.

It comes down to what you want to make of it. You have to discover yourself, in order to discover where you stand in this world. Are you someone who will help humanity? Crush humanity? Be a slave to it? Or shepherd it?

This may be the most irrational thing I've asked up here. But Descartes said, "I think therefore I am". How does this statement verify one's existence? How could one determine if their existence is real? This question just annoys me. Thoughts please.

Cogito Ergo Sum - Everything in the world is doubtful, even existence is doubtful, the only thing that cannot be doubted is the mental faculty of doubting itself, but in order to doubt, one must have the faculty of thinking, but in order to think, one must exist, at least according to Descarte's Rationalism. ;)

Your so lucky I've been wanting a sage of six paths avatar smh. But still that is descarte's theory of how we exist. How does the ability to think correlate to our existence?

I believe we exist because of evolution, yes we are real. Pain is an indication that we are real, we cry, we laugh, we hate and we love. We are real and we can feel. However sometimes it doesn't feel so real to me... I'm so autopilot its hard to focus...
