KA-FUCKING-BOOM. You lose. We win. GAME OVER.

You JUST made a positive claim (which is really what we suspected you believed all along - i.e. - that what we think is "existence" is really just like The Matrix, or a dream, or is not real). So much for your "I'm just making negations" bullshit. So now you're not just wrong, you're an outright dishonest liar who can't debate his own real thoughts.

I'm simply not going to listen to your personal lies and dishonesty, because your perpetual practice of this self-deception (inward/outward lying) is no different from the Christians who follow lockstep to such tradition. "We don't really exist but I'm not going to say that directly because I'm not going to make a positive claim or bear any burden of proof, cause then I might be wrong. I don't want to have to do anything or be involved. So I'll just shift it away, saying I'm "negating", and act like it's OK."

Word games cost you this game. Next time try being honest.
