Hey folks, haven’t been here in a while.
Roadkill. It’s quite simple.
You exist because you are self-aware.
The mistake is thinking that flawed perception equals lack of existence. The fact that one cannot know the true state of one's existence doesn’t mean one does not exist. In the end you are obviously something because you are aware of something.
Lets say you are part of a dream. If you discover this fact, you will not stop being real, you will simply change your state of self-perception.
Other people are just as real. I may be human, A.I., demon or a part of your imagination. On this forum I exist simply as a “poster”. My “true” nature is irrelevant unless we interact in other ways. If we were to meet and you all found out I was an A.I. running from a desktop then I would not cease to exist but your perception of me would change.
