h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now- don't shoot me down too quickly- but isn't a belief that you don't exist somewhat inconsistent with itself? Think about it: to have a belief, you would have to exist. Right? Something (am using the word "something" loosely...) that does not exist cannot have a belief, it seems to me. So, while it is true that whatever effects I seem to perceive (as a result of what I believe is your existance) can be explained away into my (and others') imagination, it cannot be true that both A)you actually hold the belief that you do not exist; and B)you do not exist. You could have A or B, but not both at the same time... It seems...

Thanks for the words of welcome, by the way... Not trying to give you a hard time, just interested by the idea...

I don't think that I don't exist. The cooncious entities in the universe imagine that I exist and imagine that I am typing and thinking that I don't exist. For more explanation, look at the thread "A Philosophy Question" on my home screen.

Sanity is not one of my strong points.
