Analogy:

Lovely Lady: You want to go on a date?

Skeptic: Yes, but you got to prove you are real!

Lovely Lady: What, I'm right in front of you, you see me don't you?

Skeptic: It can be that you are robot programmed as a human designed to trick me from Aliens.

Lovely Lady: Bye Weird person.

Skeptic: Aha, I knew it, she was a robot. Nice try Aliens!

If he's a skeptic who is he talking to? That he in engaging acknowledges that she's real.

Now it makes sense (no it doesn't).
Lovely Lady: Bye Weird person.

@Link did this happen to you?

Yes, I think skepticism can definitely go too far. At a certain point it starts to become arrogant.
  1. Nothing can be proven outside the mind
  2. The only thing that can be proven is inside the mind
  3. If it's outside of my mind it cannot be proven
  4. If you don't agree with what's in my mind you're automatically wrong
  5. My mind is all that matters
  6. I am all that exists

Story of my life <3.


Should Have Never Doubted

You who show up in overwhelming glory and beauty
My legs shivered and I fell in love
I should have never doubted your reality
I sought proofs as if to put your hand in a glove

Proofs philosophically I sought
When all you wanted is for me abandon my caprice
So that your love and vision be bought
But alas I moved away from your matrass

That use to fly me up to you
Down to the illusions
Darkness of deeds made me untrue
Till I awakened from my delusions

You who is in the clear horizon
I seek your forgiveness and mercy
So don't roast me in your oven
And bring me to the highest potential me

Let me just ask a very simple question: when was the last time that somebody spoke to you, and you first had to decide if that person was "real" or not?

Believe it or not, this is kinda trendy in certain groups. Nothing has inherent reality. All perception is completely false. Not incomplete, but nothing about it is true. And then they try to prove it using real world examples... from reality. It's literally self-defeating.

None the less, it means something simple like players on a baseball team are questionable. Are they real? Is this the matrix?

How is this supposed to be analogous?

Is that supposed to be a description of your average sceptic?
