Do you ever wonder that if when you leave the room, the world fails to exist?
I'm not crazy, i just think a lot
Answers:
No, I do not wonder. I know for a fact that the world exists only as I perceive it. It is all in my imagination. I create each individual, each moment, as I look about me and travel along.
My question is: am I traveling, or do I merely imagine that I am traveling. The sensation of motion could be no more real than the rest of you zombies out there.
In any case, It was fun talking to me. I'll try to imagine you again some time.
Cheers.
No, never.
only if you believe you're the center of it
no
A few folk on Yahoo ! Answers seem to think so. When I leave the room I turn around quick - just to check no one is trying to knife me in the back.. Stop thinking so much .. you dont want to end up as paranoid as me..
No ive only left to fart.
Are you a figment of my imagination, or am I a figment of yours?
I've thought about that as well, and I think that if I was the sole inhabitant of the universe, it's an elaborate set-up for one person.
Actually I don't. But it is an interesting question in that it shows in great relief the absolute narcissism of Homo Sapiens. When a squirrel leaves a tree it does not worry if the tree still exists. This is not because it is too stupid to ask the question, merely that it has better things to do. Concentrate on Here and Now, and you will suffer from less brain strain. Good luck!
no
The minute you left that room, that world failed to exist. You have to notice that our presence gives a meaning to the world’s existence. So yes if you open a door a pass through it the world outside might fail to exist due to the events that might have occurred concerning choices you were making when the door was closed.
Your choice makes a difference.
No, but I have wondered if when someone wakes up, will I cease to exist, you know, like I'm only part of their dream and when they wake up I'll be gone.
if i were you id take more tablets
Did you exist before I became aware of you?
Probably.
And will you cease to exist when I forget you?
I hope not.
We used to have discussions like that in college. My question to you is "why would you need to leave the room ?" It's entirely possible under this theory that nothing that's out of your line of sight exists. Is there anything behind you at all? And if you suddenly became aware that nothing really exhisted. What would you see? What would "nothing look like.." Wow. I need some coffee or something. But my point is that this line of questioning can only lead to more and more questions.
no, you don't think a lot, you're crazy. people who think a lot don't think about things like this.
That's a sure "I'm the center of the universe" way of thinking, isn't it?
Plenty of stuff happens when I leave the room. The only thing that doesn't happen is that the room doesn't get cleaned or tidied.
Jeesh.
ur a fuckin nutter lol please dont take offence i like nutters.
My answer is same as Tomiyo. When I was about ages 13 - 15 I used to get that sensation coupled with the thought of the possibility that the world centered around me and everyone was acting and existing solely for my benefit. Otherwise, no, I never ever think that anymore. I know the world would go on with or without my presence. The people would be less joyful without me, though. I spread peace and joy. ;-D ~ At least. I try.
I think therefore I am! What does this mean in relation to your question? Simple, so long as reality is stable at the point I occupy in the space time continuum that is all that matters to me. If reality ceases to exist in a room which I have left, it will recreate itself should I re-enter that room.
You're not the first person, there is a famous quote 'if a tree falls in a forest and noone is around, will it still make a sound'.
The answer is, we will never know
lol.most people don't think about it. they just asume it!
No - but I sometimes wonder if the room ceases to exist. And I sometimes wonder if what I think has happened has really happened - e.g. did I actually stop at that pedestrian crossing or did I really drive on and knock people over? Am I actually now somewhere else imagining that this is happening when in reality something else is happening? Am I dreaming? Or dreaming that I'm dreaming?
Not crazy, darlin', human!
This is a similar question to - If a tree crashes down in the middle of a forest but there is nobody around, does it make a noise?
Try reading Sophies World by Jostein Gaarder..
You're right and wrong at the same time. Reality is actually a mass illusion that requires life for continued existence. And you're one of the many living things in reality. So unless there's no other forms of life in the room (in which case it is almost always purely hypothetical) you're just self-centred. Sorry.
Read the book 'Nausea', by Sartre. If you have these thoughts often, I think you'll really enjoy it. :)
I wonder if people are monitering me.....will you be my friend?
Only for you, darling. The room exists for the other people in the room.
Your reality might change, but the room's reality is something else, because clearly the room was never a part of you although you were a part of the room.
You can't say the glass does not exist if you poured the water out of the glass; but it doesn't exist for the water that left the glass.
Makes sense?
Scientifically speaking, this is very similar to the anthropomorphic (I am sure that is the wrong word, but what the heck) view of the world that is propogated by many religions. "God created the world for man" and all that jazz.
But the world stays here even if man leaves. Period.
I gave a similar answer to somebody on answers except that I linked it to this actual life.Leaving the world is as leaving a room for another one.
YES a lot.
interesting..btw
but do you mean that it is the ROOM (and what u leave behind) that fails to exist ..?
or what is OUTSIDE of it.?
i know im very good company but im sure my friends can just about manage to carryout a conversation without me when i leave the r5oom
Why can't I go back to sleep..?
