What's your answer to the standard trolley question?
@Tfmonkey I suffer because I am a human with a corporeal existence in a world that challenges my ability to remain alive. Existing in and of itself is suffering, regardless of any word games about the "I."
@Tfmonkey This is all well and good for incessant bickering over thinking and word games about thinking and whose thinking is the thinkiest thinking, but all I care about with regard to philosophy is pragmatic "thinking." Is this world real? I have no reason to assume otherwise, so I'll "assume" it is. Am i, as a thinker, an individual or a hive mind? I don't care. It's a waste of time to consider anything other than I as an individual because my whole life is I. Therefore I am.
@Tfmonkey Thinking occurs, therefore entity capable of it exists.
@Tfmonkey It's still lamer than cogito ergo sum
@Tfmonkey And if this is leading to some "how do you know your experiences are even real or that you're not in the matrix" then my response is simple: I have absolutely no reason to assume the current reality is not reality. Therefore, I won't even consider hypothetical alternatives as they are nothing but unfalsifiable wastes of time. There's no reason to not proceed with the assumption that my current experiences represent reality, therefore I won't deviate.
@Tfmonkey
This is like the gay cousin of the "I think therefore I am" formulation. You'd never have an OBJECTIVE confirmation because how do you know the 3rd party is even real? Look, it's like Daredevil. You close your eyes, then touch your head all over and create a mental image of what shape you are. Simple as. You yourself ARE the objective arbiter, because your experiences are proof enough for your purposes.

@zebuceta @rohrkrepierer @sardonicsmile @Tfmonkey Saw her porn for free. Good body. It's always great when smoking hot amateurs do porn, that way you don't have to see the roastie of a used up porn star. It was in POV, too. Very considerate.
Reminder that Avatar was a movie about a man betraying his entire species for a crumb of snu snu.
I think this was a robust, poignant, and very fair counterargument to the urban enthusiast.
