"How do you actually know you're real?"
January 9, 2013 at 6:23 pm
This is a thing I've been hearing lately and truth be told it's getting obnoxious.

"You can't prove I'm real and you can't prove you're real so you just gotta take it on faith!"

I can't pin down what exactly about it annoys me but it itches at my common sense. It's one of those things I can't rationally debunk because honestly, someone who says that the use of the five available senses is something not to be trusted...might as well believe whatever the fuck they want to believe.

Anybody else have to deal with this shit? And if so, how do you guys deal with it?
