Are you a real person sat behind a computer?
Or are you just a figment of my own mind? Am I talking to myself or am I talking to other real people? Enquiring minds want to know.
(Just to add; I am a real person sat behind a computer and not a figment of YOUR mind). |
I'm an algorithm :cool:

Ignoring the issue of what is actually real, my perspective is that we are all real people sitting at our respective computers.
However, my experience of all these people sitting at their computers is restricted to my mental interpretations of my sensory impressions, and these mental interpretations are influenced by my own mental and emotional make-up. So I simply see words and images on a screen in my study. And these words and images can be further reduced to a collection of shapes and colours which my mind interprets as a desk, a laptop, and writing. I then add further interpretations about the meaning of this writing and the nature of those who have supposedly produced this writing. And I may react positively or negatively to the writing I see before me, but such reactions are all my own choices in response to how I interpret the shapes and colours before my eyes. In brief, we may all be real people but my experience of everyone present is my own mental construct. So I may not agree with all that I read, but there is no point in getting worked up about anyone's opinions as it is all taking place within my own mind. Peace |
Some of you people are strange. You guys actually sit behind the computer and not in front of it while on here? :confused:
No wonder i feel like a space alien around here. :evil1: You guys can't be real. :hiding: |

Setting aside the pun , people responding are real . The reason we may feel them unreal at times is due to our own conditioning of real and unreal . Many a times u find discussion converging on tall order whereas people's life may be far from it . But that's ok . The forums like this is source of inspiration , learning for many people over many years . It has to put forth the best. And re-actionary ,ad-hoc , unscientific , extreme thoughts should not dominate the forum . This may give a feeling of unreal but it certainly is not that. |
