I can't remember which philosopher proposed the idea that the world is entirely a figment of one single persons imagination. Maybe you're that single person and your imagining me typing this to you on my laptop.
We can test this proposition easily by asking a single question. "What am I wearing?"
Am I on the wrong site. Is this Match.com? Actually, I don't even know what i'm wearing. Maybe you're the one person who exists. Let's test it, what are you wearing? If you can answer that question than you exist. Otherwise if I think about what you're wearing I keep thinking a bees keeper outfit. So I think you maybe that single person that has reality totally to herself.
You were close. I'm dressed as one of the bees in SNL. I am a figment of John Belushi's imagination. He's not really dead, he's just imagining us imagining him dead.
I know it wasn't me that made the statement Anne quoted. Ad if I did it was certainly not before having coffee. if that statement is true it would eliminate the need for suicide notes.
So if you're a figment of your imagination and the imagination that creates the figment is a figment of my imagination, which one of us is schizophrenic?
I think we both have multiple personalities, that each have multiple personalities, that all hear voices that are figments of the imaginations of each of their multiple personalities. All I know for sure is that not having a cup of coffee yet is not a figment of my imagination but rather a result of my laziness.
I burst out laughing at the first 2 but the 3rd makes me think. If I'm a figment of my imagination, then my imagination isn't really there and.... oh fiddle-dee-dee... I'll think about it tomorrow, like Scarlet.

Deletethat last one def sets the head the to thinking...like anne i know that philosophy but i cant figure the person that said it....
ReplyDeleteI know it wasn't me that made the statement Anne quoted. Ad if I did it was certainly not before having coffee. if that statement is true it would eliminate the need for suicide notes.
DeleteI did not have enough coffee for this, but I am pretty sure you are all the figment of my imagination!
ReplyDeleteI like that. If that's true can you pay health insurance and pour me a cup of coffee, or at least drink one for me.
DeleteI guess the first one makes us all optimistic!! Whooo Hoooo you just made my day. I am an optimist.
ReplyDeleteYes, we all are optimists. Let's hope we will all be optimists fro a long long long long time.

DeleteDamn, better have one big house
DeleteI think all the personalities stuffed in my head are responsible for losing my hair.

ReplyDeleteI try to put off all thinking until I have coffee, a concussion or a nervous breakdown. Unless I put LSD in my coffee.
DeleteI guess we can all be optimistic because 1 out of 1 of us will die; pretty good odds I think :)
ReplyDeletebetty
You're right. You couldn't find a bookie who would take those odds.
DeleteAs a pessimist I don't believe you!
ReplyDeleteAs an optimist I believe you that you don't believe me.
