And you don't seem to understand...

it is actually a good question. often life seems surreal to me.

i do occasionally think that maybe i died back when i was in hospital and this is some sort of hallucination.

>>9490245
A shame you seemed an honest man..

I'm more real than Yukari at least.

>Are you even real ?

Physical reality is nothing but an illusion, a hologram of the information that flows to us through the wired. This is because the body, physical motion, the activity of the human brain is merely a physical phenomenon, simply caused by synapses delivering electrical impulses. The physical body exists at a less evolved plane only to verify one's existence in the universe.

If you aren't remembered, then you never existed.

Oh, yes, of course I am. Are you? Why, for a certain value of real, certainly, anything can be. But which value do you subscribe to?

Mankind is a creature that no longer evolves, is it not? One theory says that man is a neoteny and is no longer able to evolve. If this is true, then what an absurd creature mankind has evolved into. Not knowing what it is that drives them they keep their bodies merely to satisfy the desires of the flesh. They're worthless, don't you think? That's all mankind is.

I think I'm real.
Its ok. Lain would be with me forever.

Have you tried calling for tech support...?

Well, that's the question, isn't it? Actually, mine is if YOU are real since I can vouch for my own reality.

How do I know I didn't create you in a subconscious attempt to stave off loneliness in the face of the great void of solitary existence?

>>9490302
>since I can vouch for my own reality.

How?

>>9490306
He is but a figment of my imagination, after all.

I like to think that nothing is real. Many people find that kind of view to be depressing, but I think it's really comforting.

What's the deal with there being 3 personalities of Lain?
There was the autistic one in physical world, slutty one in Wired but I don't get why there also is mean one.

Sometimes, it feels like i've created everything i've experienced ever, all the people i've interacted with, /jp/, my school, everything...

And i'm pretty sure if I kill myself in this reality i'd have to live it all again, unable to do anything different.

>>9490306
I think, therefore I am!

>>9490339
descartes a shit

I wish I wasn't, that way I can always live on everyone's mind

>>9490322
Lain had many version of herself since everyone had their own memory's of her

>>9490329
Somewhere, there may well be such a reality in which you are stuck living your life again, and every such attempt to deprive yourself of life is denied.

>>9490339
Do you really think? The answer is no. You pretend to think, you act like you think, but in reality, there is only a function of your brain, no conscioussness.

The dick

>>9490322
People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that's why there were all kinds of mes. There weren't a lot of mes per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that's all.

>>9490343
Perhaps, but I think that is a fundamental truth.

>>9490351
More than you would think.

>>9490357
What is thinking?

ARE WE HUMANS OR ARE WE DANCERS?

Deterministic universes must resolve to 0. This is because infinity is impossible in a deterministic universe, ergo non-zero is impossible.

We live in a deterministic universe so our simplest form is non-existence.

There is an idea that as entropy of any given system decreases, that system moves closer toward infinity. That's the basis for existentialist crises, I think.

Is it possible to progress toward an impossibility?

>>9490426
There is no such thing as impossible, love.

>>9490436
1 = 0
Impossible.

>>9490443
You are something that is nothing, by your own claims. 1=0.

>>9490450
>You are something that is nothing
Only at my simplest form. 1 != 0

>>9490457
Please elaborate. How exactly will you argue that you, at your simplest form, do not exist, yet you do exist, wihile disproving any correlation between them.

>>9490475
Perception.

>>9490489
Two individuals could percieve the same concept in two different way. A one can be perceived as a zero and a zero as a one.

>>9490499
That's true.

>>9490235
God damn I want that hat. What's the style called?

>>9490562
Just looks like a toque to me

>>9490566
It's not, but thanks for the reference, I found out it's called a Chullo from that.

AHAHAHAHA

Hmm... Is 'this' even real?

*whips out cock*

>>9490575
>>9490582
>>9490587
What is this from? All I know is that it was used in the intro of a CD I listen to

>>9490653
It's a quote from the opening of every Serial Experiments Lain episode, dude.

>>9490653
What CD?

Lain was bad and incredibly overrated.

Sorry, just had to say it.

>>9490704
I liked it. It was the only anime I've ever marathoned to the end with no breaks. It was one of those few things that actually managed to make me forget about reality altogether for a little while. It was a really relaxing, yet depressing experience for me.

>>9490704
Looks like we have a serious case of 2deep4u, unfortunately there is no known cure for being an uneducated plebeian.

>>9490704
I fully respect your opinion even though I strongly disagree with it.

ふふふ

>>9490696
Please give me a while, it seems I don't have it tagged correctly, but I do know that it was done by DJ Sharpnel

>>9490724
No problem, I've got whole night.

>>9490730
I didnt exactly expect to find it like this, but here

>>9490751
If I waited like, another minute, I would have found it was DJ SHARPNEL [SRPC 0001] DJ Sharpnel vs Project Gabbangelion

thanks!

>>9490426
how the hell non-existence is a form?

>>9490426
lol what the fuck is this nerd trying to say
