Lacan said:

Man, first and foremost, in order for a synpase to fire it has to respond to some sort of external stimuli. Your perception is entirely useless unless you have external stimuli to react to. Therefore, we can't make any positive claims about the external stimuli that affects us everytime we listen, open our eyes, touch something. So while we might not know what that external stimuli IS, we at least know that there is something external to us, whether or not we can fully understand/interact with it, that's really not the subject of the debate.

Calling the OP's original topic a "philosophy" is really just kind of changing the definiton of the word and using it to encompass any self-proclaimed truth or way of thinking. The OP's randomly inspired musings are as much Philosophy as Scientology. And I think both are stupid. Yeah, I said it.

You can do the whole "That's subjective." routine, that most pseudo-intellectuals/coffee-shop philosophers like to take, but to boldly and sure-firedly say "You are all a figment of my imagination, prove me wrong." You're really doing 2 things wrong. 1) Your argument(which if we're following Western philosophy, then traditionally your argument should be consistant of some form of Sentential Logic that consists of premises and a conclusion.) You present a conclusion, with no premises, and put the burden of proof on those who disagree with you. In one fail swoop, we've identified that your argument is both invalid(The truth of your premises don't guarantee the truth of your conclusion) and unsound, your premises aren't true under all conditions(There are foreseeable counter-examples.) etc.etc.

So instead, I'll do what David Hume did to John Locke, and I'll say "Prove to me, that I am a figment of your imagination."

Shifting the burdon of proof is always fun, isn't it?

Don't be too quick to think you're cooler than you actually are. Theres a few billion people on this planet. They are not all your figments. They are living, fucking, eating, playing, talking- creatures. They do it while you're asleep, while you're at work, and while you're sitting on grasscity, pretending that your thoughts are meaningful and worthy of attention.

But, then again, I could be wrong, and I could just be a figment of your imagination trying to convince myself that I am not a figment of my/your imagination.

Or am I?

You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing, whether or not you're aware of what it is you're doing. Of course you're going to appear to have your own thoughts and opinions, that's all part of the illusion.

Everything in my world has a purpose, and if yours required you to be rich and have a huge cock then you'd have it already. Sorry.

How about i come over there and kick your ass all the way to Alaska?!

Well, unless you live in Alaska... and then I'm sure we can arrange something.

Being rich and having a huge cock are relative terms........

In relation to Donald Trump I am poor and in relation to the kid who works the cash register @ 7-11 I'm rich.....

The same type of relations can be made for cock size.

So.....To what or who are the relations based in your world?

Maybe my cock is gi-normous and it has made me rich.....

OR maybe when i kick someone's ass it's just my way of showing how much i respect them.

No, I'm not angry. I was just kidding.

I'm all for being in a video game, but I know I'm not because I can't seem to find a medi pack anywhere!

And what if you, sir, only existed through me? Your next move decided only by my last action?

See that's not possible, or I'd not to be alive at all, and the world would be different.

I will consider the possibility that there are others like me with their own realities, but nobody in my reality is like me.

My guess is that it started once I gained consciousness.

The illusion is just the projection of my mind and everything that I see and experience.

"The illusion is just the projection of my mind and everything that I see and experience."

How do you know everything that you see and experience is an illusion?
