[/quote] In my opinion it can't be proven that's why no one should go around making absolute claims about such things. Let's put this back in context with the original post: [b]I've seen a trend on this forum to increasingly claim that people are motivated by ego to do everything... Let's step back for a second, the ego is just another theoretical concept.[/b] I think it's wrong to go around claiming that the ego is causing this and that when the ego is just another unprovable theory. If people were saying, "I believe the ego is causing such and such", I have no problem with that. [/quote] You don't see the issue with asking for 'proof' of something that cannot be measured or quantified? [/quote] I asked the question this way because... Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If people are going to go around expecting everyone else to believe that the ego absolutely exists, shouldn't they be ready to at least present good evidence for it? [/quote]

I've seen a trend on this forum to increasingly claim that people are motivated by ego to do everything...
Let's step back for a second, the ego is just another theoretical concept.
Can you prove that the EGO exists?
What's your evidence?
