Encounter with a Presupp

[TheoneandonlytrueGod]

"If I am a brain in a vat then why should I believe anything you say?

It doesn't matter whether or not your "brain is in a vat", in any case what you perceive is "real". My minor was in philosophy. In one class the professor wanted to know whether the "dream state," was the real reality or was the waking state real and how can one determine which is the real reality. I still don't know how to answer that one.

Still, it seems that the awake state seems to be the most likely of the two.

In any case it makes little difference since the perceptions will be the same regardless of the condition of the brain as long as there is some sort of devices that can detect outside phenomena and transmit those phenomena to the brain receptors.
