that's more of a question of "is the internet real?" than "is reality real?"... |

Not really. It doesn't have to be just with the internet, it could be in any situtiation. What I'm trying to say is that if life is an illusion, then everyone around you is just part of the illusion. |

that's an interesting perspective, one that i've heard before, but i find it rather stupid, to be frank... all the things and people around me i perceive, i can interact with them, therefore they ARE real.. if life is an illusion, then what ISN'T an illusion? nothing, ergo the illusion BECOMES reality logically, because it's all that's there... unless you want to talk a bout a whole "Matrix" scenario, but that's an entirely different (and lame) story.... |

Oh, I agree with what you are saying. I don't believe everything around me is an illusion, just an interesting monkey wrench to throw into a topic's gears. If you set and think about something like that, you could almost drive yourself crazy, or become a conspiracy theorist. |

The problem is it's been done millions of times across millions of internet forums by millions of high and drunk college students. |

I hate threads like these. What does it matter if you really do or don't exist? People should really stop getting their panties in a knot aboot this kinda BS. |

You are alive, if you weren't you wouldn't be able to think. Being alive has nothing with being an illusion. Something that is alive breathes, produces waste, takes energy from the sun, and reproduces. (I think there's more but these are the basic four.) |

I exist. Even if I don't, it doesn't really have any bearing on where I'm headed in life. Interesting to think about, but it doesn't have any practical consequences. |

We infact do exist... even if its a figment of ours or someone elses imagination. And, we also exist in many dimensions on the quantium level. But all and all, if you break it down to the smallest of things, we are nothing more then a symphony of vibrations, nothing more... nothing less So the real answer to that question is yes... and no
