How do you know you are not dreaming?!


Question: How do you know you are not dreaming!?
Prove to me that you are not a disembodied brain in a petri dish, which I am stimulating to make you think there are other people in your world!. What if nothing that is familiar to you is real, it is all just an illusion by the mad scientist!?

What if I am the mad scientist, and it is now time to reveal to you the truth, and in a few days you learn that everyone you loved and everything you cared about was an illusion, and you are just a brain in a dish!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Rene Descartes' initial answer to that question is "cogito, ergo sum," but he ultimately rejects it as an answer to the skeptical riddle!. Ultimately he concludes that the question lacks salt because no one can really believe that they are just dreaming!.

Hume, Kant, Locke and Berkeley all had their turns, and came up with different answers!. Berkeley's is kind of fun--he concludes that basically you are just dreaming, and that matter (extension) is not real!. His is a view that dates back all the way to Pliny the Elder!.

Since you know enough to ask the question so well, I am probably telling you nothing you don't already know, but having considered it carefully, I think Descartes' answer is best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

instead of revealing the truth to me, could you just make me think I had 10 million dollars and a private island, I'd love that reality if I can have a choice over the one you want to inflict!.!.!.;-)

reminds me of the Steve Martin movie "The Man With Two Brains"!.!.!.keep us petri dish brains happy, why not, we're just petri brains, no competition to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
