yep thats true. Well done. People can break laws too. Except physics laws.. They are pretty damn hard to break.
what if theyre hard to break merely because we believe that they are hard to break?
what if we exist merely because we have a sub-conscious thought process that allows us to exist?
kinda like when we die, we realise that we are ceasing to exist and then we experience for a fraction of a second the true reality, and then realise that we are merely dreaming and hence we die as we make the conscious decision to tear ourselves apart from this world?

You dont know? Impossible to prove the existence of self/reality.

whether we exist or not make no difference to how we percieve reality...think about how u feel in your dreams...its a much simpler life just floating around chasing giant marshmellow penguins rather than weighing up whether your experiences are real or just a figment of some giant overlords imagination...whether we realise our insignificance will only impact how insignificant we percieve ourselves to be...

i choose the penguins:D

To answer this question you firstly need to define what you mean by exist.

What are the conditions for existence?

What is existence?

step on some scales. it gives a reading of ur mass. therefore u have mass. therefore u exist.
someone else also reads the scales. same reading. too much coincidence to be false.
or continue with ur stupid theoretical stuff that doesnt matter if its right or wrong.
