      Yeah, but this leaves you more open to being open to the vast array in what might be others experience in ways you can’t fathom. This worlds a grand puzzle full of people doing things who think differently making and forming their own meanings. One cog in an orderless self rearranging machine.

      The real important question: Who cares if you exist or not? It doesn’t really matter.

      You’re on the ride, ride it. If you don’t like the current ride, find a pathway to a different one.

    Are you convincing yourself or are the waves of energy in your brain trying to make you think that you exist?

      We are merely a mass of energy attempting to understand our own existence. We are the universe, we are existence, WE ARE GOD, there is no God, WE ARE DEAD, WAKR UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UO, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP

    How did you already manage to come up with a concept of “self”?

    I’m over here thinking, if I did exist, what would this “I” be? This physical body? Brain? Some ephemeral soul that scientists (if those are real) can’t seem to measure in any way. Some hidden variables on another dimension underlying this thing we call reality?

      There’s no point in doubting that you are observing an existence. You are conscious. What I can’t resolve is the ship of theseus problem. I have no proof that my consciousness is continuous over days over weeks.
