Do you know you exist or do you only want to believe that you do. Anything as meaningless as life is pointless. Its like it doesn’t exist at all.
So do you exist? Can you back it up?

When my ex-fiance loved me, I felt more alive than I ever have in my life. He gave me so much happiness. Now I feel quite different.
I believe I exist, but I don’t experience it.

I’m the extension of an arrangement of matter that has had to eat and drink from world for 26 years. I know I will be here tomorrow. I’m not going to vanish. It is quite real.
I think the idea of existence is the only thing you can question.
We that exist are what defines the word. There is no escaping it. By definition we exist.
It’d be a totally different conversation if you had instead said “I can’t believe I exist!”
That is something I would have to agree with you on.

If you want an existential answer then jukebox is right.
But on a practical day to day basis, yes, I exist. It’s me writing this. It’s me who goes to work. It’s me who drives on the freeway.
Life isn’t meaningless to everybody. They may feel that way temporarily, sometimes. Or they may even feel that way a lot. But a lot of people are too busy living their lives to sit around pondering the universe. We’ve been dealt some bad cards by having schizophrenia. But even some of us can find meaning in our lives.
My life sucks in some ways, in some ways it’s OK. But I don’t feel hopeless 24 hours a day. When I’m at work I am so busy trying to do a good job that the fact that I have schizophrenia kinda fades into the background. It crops up every now and then but it’s not my main focus. I don’t know about meaning in my life, I just do what I can and sometimes things work out.
My wife thinks, therefore I am.
I am … behind on my ‘honey do’ list.

I’m an illusion bro
I think that mostly we don’t exist as we are meant to be. We exist like a seed that lies waiting unknowing of the rain and what we are suppose to be. Patients is a virtue . We seem always to be waiting, waiting, always waiting for something to be. I am a poet in waiting.lol

Do numbers exist? I think I may be a very long irrational one
Either im stupid or this is stupid question.
It could be both.
I mean…the question is not do we but why we…exist.
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself. -carl Sagan.
Such grand beauty and intricacy would be worthless if there wasn’t an observer to appreciate it. That’s the highest purpose we have to me. That and ■■■■■■■ seems to be pretty popular too.

Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed, not just to ourselves, but to that cosmos. Ancient and vast from which we sprang.

There is only physics. If there was anything meta about it that was verified it would just become physics.

Just posted this recently so I was reluctant to post it again. It’s topical to this though.
To be honest…this dude creeps me out.
