Maybe you meant, go away my Korean son, there'll be peace when you are gone. Would make a hell of a lot more sense!

Dude, you could just be in purgatory? That doesn't prove you're alive?

Speaking of matrixes...before I watched The Matrix, I would've said you can prove you're alive because you feel emotions and pain. But that movie made my world spin.

I take issue with one thing, and one thing alone. The sms shorthand "btw" does NOT mean between. It means by the way.

I don't care.

Btw, btw means by the way.

LOL! Oh! BTW, I know you are nobody's fool but don't worry, I'm sure someone will adopt you soon.

Side: Oh! I'm alive alright!

You are right...this could be the matrix, and the computer programs are the puppeteer, and the humans are lame puppets.

Side: Umm... not really

Proof is absurdity! It exclaims utmost arrogance! We cannot prove a thing. Only believe! Only have faith! Knowledge is a deadly friend. Hold fast!

Side: Umm... not really

Sometimes I think about why we're alive, and why we exist. But not for long, because it makes me head hurt. Anyway, there are other times when I just start wondering whether I'm dreaming or something.... I don't know, it's just that humanity is an absurd concept.

Anyone who has ever had a lucid dream can say; No.

Descartes was one of the first (possibly the first but who knows) to come up with the thought experiment; the method of doubt.

And if you want to cite the matrix, just know that is was ripped directly from Reason Truth and History by Hilary Putnam (1981).
