Good lad!
Seems that at least some one was listening to my "I exist and I can prove it, and anyone that says otherwise is stupid" rant.
Were you ranting? I'm sorry, I was too busy ranting to listen to your rant.
I disagree. Your existence is a simulation in my mind from the words I read from the screen, from which I assume "human." My existence is a similar simulation, one of mind; as mind lacks empirical definition, i do not exist.
I'm only human if I accept the biological classification of homo sapiens sapiens and I have no reason not to; what I object to is the existence of identity. John Cantor and Norfolk and Chance are both I, both simulation; where is the existence?
