How can I prove that everything I see really exists and isn’t just an illusion/ image created by my brain? How can I really know that once I look away from something that it is still there and doesn’t turn black? I thought about the mirror, but maybe the image in the mirror is also just created. The people I hear talking behind me could also be gone but I only hear the audio and once I turn around they appear visually. I thought about using a camera but the content that is saved on the camera could also be fake.
Can someone tell me how to prove that others really exist?
How can I really know that people are responding to this question and not only AI? I have absolutely no proof that this forum could be real. Look at ChatGPT.
I have so many questions.
Descartes didn’t use that as a conclusion; he used it as the basis from which he built up to “prove” the existence of God.
That said, that’s still the only conclusion I can reach with certainty, making me a weak solipsist.
I mean… A statement can be both a conclusion and an argument… But sure.
