How can I prove that everything I see really exists and isn’t just an illusion/ image created by my brain? How can I really know that once I look away from something that it is still there and doesn’t turn black? I thought about the mirror, but maybe the image in the mirror is also just created. The people I hear talking behind me could also be gone but I only hear the audio and once I turn around they appear visually. I thought about using a camera but the content that is saved on the camera could also be fake.
Can someone tell me how to prove that others really exist?
How can I really know that people are responding to this question and not only AI? I have absolutely no proof that this forum could be real. Look at ChatGPT.
I have so many questions.
That’s not an argument. If you’re inside a virtual reality, what you perceive as true doesn’t have to be true at all. OPs brain can be capable of everything you said and more if you and I were just fragments of their imagination. What we know about the brain’s capabilities wouldn’t matter if this was a simulation.
The only real answer is that it doesn’t matter: if the whole world around you is made up by your brain, what does it matter if you can’t change it?
