[quote:Anonymous Coward 12058292:MV8xODU3MzE4XzMwOTcwMjQyXzE1RThCRTA2] Thinking does not prove existence; this would be your first lesson on Philosophy, if you had to experience it-it was very perplexing. One might be certain that his ability to think-to mentally distinguish his mind as a separate entity from his body-were to be exact proof of his exact place in space and time; but this is incorrect, we must first prove existence: Something that is composed of matter, taking up space, and is aware of his place in his environment. But May we even prove that matter, itself exists on the same plane as our comprehensible perception? Our perception of an object-let us say- a rock, is physically limited to our sensory receptions of the objects presence. We may not correctly state that we may prove matter to exist, merely because we perceive it's existence. Ask yourself the meaning of "Know" in our society, and recognize the fundamental flaws in our society. [/quote]
