~Shore Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 @WTF and Dweller That's a pretty good point against "I think therefor I am" It means either the universe doesn't exist, or crazy people don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitus Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 You can't fly just because you think you can fly. Discuss Physics. You have to BELIEVE you can fly. You have to believe you can soar. You have to believe you can touch the sky. Just because you THINK you are something, does not mean you are that. That is the equivalent of being in your own illusion of fantasies. We can never know what reality truly is, so all we can do is have faith in what we believe reality is. From our beliefs and discoveries, that is what molds a Mental Reality, the reality we believe we live in. We strive to make our Mental Reality the equivalent of the True Reality, through discovery and belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 You can't fly just because you think you can fly. Discuss Physics. Depends on how you use the word fly. Fly can be used to reference on how someones mind hovers above the ground etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shore Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 lolIbelieveIcanfly Tbh, I didn't get much of what you just said. And, assuming this universe exists and is not all in my imagination, people can only fly by burning large amounts of petroleum. But you brought up a good point. You can't fly just because you think you can fly. Discuss Physics.Just because you THINK you are something' date=' does not mean you are that. [/quote']This. "I think, therefor I am" means that you do not necessarily know what you are, where you are, why you are, etc. It simply means that since you are self-aware, you must exist. That's it. Therefor, each person's mind is their own bubble of certainty, their own universe. Obviously the thread is a joke, but the point is that each person is, by nature, the center of their own universe, because their existence is the only thing they can logically be sure of.
