The proof is that when you’re not in range of my senses you don’t exist.
Or
The proof is that when I’m not thinking about you you don’t exist.

How do you prove it?

I don’t know. Maybe delusion or illusion is a start.

Can you really prove anything? If you can’t doesn’t that mean nothing exists?

@GEDchill has a good point.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Have everyone in the city evacuate.

You are not a taco. Therefore you do not exist. Tacos have been to the moon. Tacos have won elections. Tacos use double ply toilet paper. Tacos bring presents every Easter Eve. Are you a taco?

If you don’t exist, you can’t pay me. Seems like an intractable problem.

If I prove you don’t exist how the hell are you going to pay me?
Damn that @shutterbug, I just saw he made me look bad.
Hell, I can’t even prove I had breakfast this morning. Is it my imagination or are people asking harder and harder questions lately?

Totally unfair, you’ve never needed my help to make yourself look bad. You’re just trying to share the blame. HMMMPH.

Well, I’m always trying to improve my efforts to look bad. I could always use a few pointers.

Descartes said “I think, therefore I am.” A town cannot think as a single entity, therefore it doesn’t exist.

I entered the competition (deadline is over). I will lose most likely, but the prize isn’t $100 it is over 1 million. Nobody can really prove it, really. But based on my posts here you can understand my argument. It’s not solipsism. We live in a matrix (my argument), which is considered a delusion here.
Why is there a thread with no OP??? I’m confused 
Happy birthday Insidemind?
How have you been?
Any advances on the professional front? I mean have you finally found a job? Or at least gotten the missing credits for a degree?

Thank You. I’ve been okay. Nothing done professionally or credits toward a degree. I’m still sick and possibly worse off now than I was a couple years ago motivational-wise but I am happier and content. I did take a couple of classes on coursera/edx but that’s about it. Nothing special.
