Brain in vat and other philosophical discussion

[StarsOfCCTV]

Moved it here because it's so off topic from how was your day

Our brain is real...

Okay but how are we being manipuated if the scientist doesnt exist, are we choosing to be manipulated

No the scientist is real

[Abbie]

But I thought you said he wasnt?

[StarsOfCCTV]

No I didn't....did I?

But you could also be hallucinating or dreaming if you aren't being controlled by the evil scientist

[Abbie]

We are real, just not a body. E.g. You could be the only other person apart form the scientist to exist but you don't know it because you are being manipulated. The scientist does exist.

Sorry I mis-read, you said he does exist.

So is he like a magicain then?

But you could also be hallucinating or dreaming if you aren't being controlled by the evil scientist

So life is just one big hallucination?

Where are our brains kept?

And who the hell thought up this concept?

[StarsOfCCTV]

Not really. He's cleverer than that. He's a proper scientist. He just controls you. SoapBoards might not exist - he's just making you think that it does

[Abbie]

So what makes him exist, and what happens when we die in this concept?

1. Could be

2. In Philosophy headquarters (I don't know )

3. Descartes thought of the evil demon, not sure about hallucination

I don't know Descartes doesn't explain that far

[Abbie]

So Im intrigued, the scientist wants you to learn about him, even though he is manipulating us, sounds odd doesnt it?
