    Who, in your "what if" scenario, would be the one imagining?

    The saying goes "what you see in others is in you" The real Wise ones do indeed say exactly this By reversing the Truth. They can't:D

    much the same as listening to children animatedly discussing their favorite comic book heroes and their adventures, or taken further into role playing [cosplay], or further still into professional acting where they really invest a lot into an imaginary character, whom they portray so divinely...

    Ultimately I don't think you can. But I don't see a reason to think it likely, or act as if it is the case.

    Imaginary Friends

    If so, what are we supposed to do about it? We are tied to this reality and if we ignore the many needs that come with being a human then we won't be one for very long. Much like free will, we have to do what appears best for ourselves - and that is, accepting that we are real. Unless one wants...

    Yeah, most people who call another person's God or Spirit they refer to an "imaginary friend" are probably just trying to be meanies, as you basically pointed out. I probably think it, but I might not say it!

    What was his disability? Reading disability or something? I sort of remember something being mentioned. Yeah, I hope that my being able to write lots can give people hope that whatever people want can likely be achieved with lots of practice and repetition, so long as a person is able to do it...

    There is no possible way to 'prove' subjective claims such as above, it is contorted logic. ,

    Imaginary Friends

    When fools compare various entities to "imaginary friends" it isn't deserving of any attention, frankly. That's giving them far more credit than the deserve as their comparison is little more than an infantile jab that demonstrates a failure to understand much about what they're referencing.

    Imaginary Friends

    I think that many/most religious traditions believe that God is somehow more real than phenomenal reality. Even the Buddhists and Jains, who don't have a monotheistic God, believe that our concepts of reality are badly misconceived and that ultimate reality, understood properly, is very...

    IMO, one has to trust the perception of reality provided by our senses. Don't really have another viable choice. The rest is academic. Lots of possibilities of what is true but even though not greatly reliable the only evidence we have is that provided by our senses. If we let go of this then...

    Drop a hammer on your toe. Drop a hammer on your imaginary friends toe. Study the results. Submit for peer review.

    Imaginary Friends

    In my view, God is the only one real, we are imaginary (Berkeley's Idealism). We can not prove that we are real or exist in any way or that anything else does outside of our experience, and no one else can seemingly access our actual experience, we can't even prove anyone in our experience has...

    Solipsism is a philosophical position than cannot be refuted. it is, however, nonsense. if you consider the physical world to be imaginary, then I wonder about what you mean by the term 'real'.

    Imaginary Friends

    We often see atheists talking about religious beings as imaginary friends. But what if we've got it backwards? What if God is the only one real, and the physical world and all the people in it are imaginary? How would you go about proving that you're not a schizophrenic hallucination of a...

    Is there any place for blasphemy laws in the twenty first century?

    It is all too easy to speak poorly of a thing that amounts to nothing more than belief. As an example: I don't see a lot of people going around saying how great it is that someone has an imaginary friend. I don't see a lot of support for conspiracy theorists who can't produce compelling...

    Who observes, that the brain observes ?

    For some time I have suspected that the mind has various options for bringing information from subconscious to conscious. Visual imagery. Imaginary friends. Role play. Whispers in the wind. Intrapersonal communication.

    Anarchism vs communism

    Its really really really complicated to answer. I went into economics for two years before dropping out of that major to pursue history instead so I'm not an expert. I know just enough to think I know something and typically thats a dangerous spot to be. So with that in mind a really really...

    Pakistani man accused of insulting Islam killed in court

    It's pure insanity... people killing other people because they disagree about their imaginary friends. How sad and pathetic.
