I mean, can you really prove you were born? You were told you were yeah but nobody really remembers it. And speaking of really and the concept of real what is real anyway? What you can see and touch? Those are just electrical impulses in your brain.
One argument I've had for the people who try to say, "The simulation theory would require a super powerful computer, the size of the entire universe to simulate every atom in the universe!"
Ok, but...the only thing that *I* am aware of right now is what I'm directly perceiving. How do *I* know that anything exists beyond my sense of perception? I've never seen your livingroom. How do I know it exists? You can tell me it does, you can even describe it in detail. You could even go as far as show me pictures of it...but how do I know that it's not just a program made to trick me into thinking that it's a real place?
Am I a Boltzmann Brain? Are you, and I'm just a program trying to convince you this is normal?
A great philosopher once said, "How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't even real?"
