  • trees don't exist. they are just aggregations of plant cells and fibers

  • Except those cells and fibers are bound together physically, unlike people...

  • Concepts exist to the extent that they have real quantifiable effects on material reality.

  • Interesting -- can you give me an example? Gravity has an effect on material reality without requiring people to act -- can you think of the concept that does this as well?

  • I remember when I was a kid,and I was crossing "State" lines I thought the lines were actually on the ground,you know-like in nature.

    People need to pay attention to the kids,they usually point out and BLURT out the truth.

  • does he really believe what he says?

  • Alpha Centauri exists. Hohoho.

  • I like most of your videos, but I have to disagree. The government does exist, and it is very real. You declaring that it doesn't really exist proves that you have never been to prison before. That is very real. 

  • damn, it's gonna take a lot of time for me to watch ALL these great vids from you LOL

  • Oh look... my comment got deleted.

  • @stefbot If I tie strings between all the trees in the forest does that makes the forest exist again?

  • Like Gods, governments do not exist, they are force their victims to believe they exist, with deception, violence, lies, propaganda, religion, and so on.

  • What do you mean exactly by "reality" though. I do know what you are getting at, but still... I think how the world looks has a hell of a lot to do with where our minds are at.

    Seperate from that possible difficulty I have with it though, I don't argue with the idea the government shouldn't be taken seriously.

  • Doesn't a unicorn own everything in America? Oh no... are you... wait..... :-(

  • I think you are too quickly dismissing proofs of existence on the basis that only objects can be shown to exist, disregarding the relationships between those objects. You of course are correct to point that abstract concepts such as "a forest" can't be shown to exist physically (i.e. as objects), but that is because concepts as "a forest" do not describe objects, but rather relationships between them; to show their existence requires only the presentation of its components and relation.
