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

Aha! But how do you know that you exist, or that the internet is not just a figment of your imagination...<?>

[I've had this conversation about a thousand times. I'll drop it if it bores you]

Maybe. We'll both probably be dead by then.

Because someone made a word to describe what everyone is doing and therefore are doing that.

But a word doesn't make something exist. A word doesn't make something 'real'.

You are where you are, and I am where I am.

This can't be my imagination because I'm more imaginative and the human race would never have to go to the toilet.

But who's to say this is /your/ imagination, and not someone else's<?>

Okay- they'd have to have a pretty pathetic life to be imagining this, but my point is still valid...

Because if you were imagining this, you would not imagine people who could imagine this scenario.

Why not<?>

Why create desention? Why create gods and dieties? Why create logic?

And most of all, why create philosophy to answer questions you don't know the answer to?

Because it gives us something to argue about!

I do enjoy a decent argument

There's something in the human brain that makes it that hard for us to comprehend the fact that there could be no gods and there's just us (except me and other atheists).

Other animals can do this. they just live. They don't worry about the universe. In fact they don't have a universe, it's just as far as they see.

I work on the thesis that whatever happens happens, really.

But that /is/ what distinguishes us from other animals, the fact that we have consciousness rather than just bog standard awareness.

Loved the dialogue

[ps. good luck with the cartoonist of the year thing ]

I've got until November 11th to decide whether I'm going to submit or not!

Submit! Submit!!!

I'm sensing you want me to do something but I don't know what...

Submit!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hmmmm.... more than 10 exclaimation marks.... must be important...]

Actually more than five is representative of insanity.

That /would/ explain a lot about my french teacher

Is the teacher part necessary?
