Shared experiences with other people? Prove they exist.
See, this is where you lose me. When you’re out and about in the world, interacting with people, interfacing with reality, it’s not up to those individuals to prove to you that they exist prior to, during, or after your interactions with them. You don’t doubt the existence of your lunch before you eat your lunch; it is an objective fact that your lunch exists, hopefully, and if not, you are objectively hungry. Your body will suffer measurable physiological effects from your hunger. If you starve and die, it’s a fact that you are now dead.
Do you have evidence to back up the “brain in a jar” theory? Cuz we can talk about “could be’s” all day long, but what is measurable, consistent, and verifiable externally by everyone is what matters far more
Some people hallucinate that others exist all the time. Hell, I’ve done it. How can I know with 100% certainty that the people I see exist, and aren’t hallucinations?
