How do I know my world is real and not a hallucination?

I’ve thought about that before, actually.

I guess none of us can “prove” reality in some absolute way but what makes it real to me is consistency.

Patterns. Shared experience. Cause and effect.

If other people can interact with the same things, respond to them, build on them, that gives it weight.

A hallucination is usually isolated and unstable. Reality holds up over time.

At some point, you choose to trust the coherence of what you experience and move forward from there.

If you believe neuroscientists like Anil Seth and the like, conscientious is a “controlled hallucination”

Google paid $200 a hour on the internet.. my close relative has been without labor for nine months and the earlier month her compensation check was $51005 by working at home for 10 hours a day... E­v­e­r­y­b­o­d­y m­u­s­t t­r­y t­h­i­s j­o­b n­o­w b­y j­u­s­t u­s­e ­t­h­i­s

How do you know? I don't know, it's very personal.

What I know is that I'd only ask myself this question from a theoretical perspective. As a thought experiment, and just a thought experiment. Once the experiment is over, I don't question anymore the nature of my reality.

You really don;t. The hallucination theory would explain a lot.

Did you have magic mushrooms on your spaghetti last night?

[Asker]

No, I don’t eat either of those foods.

Put your hand over a flame for about 10 seconds and lets us know if you still think it's a hallucination.

Pain is only in the mind. The only way to get out of this reality is through death. Don’t worry I have no plans of doing such.

To answer your question... you're still alive... go in traffic and see if cars avoid you. Its as real as it gets

[loveslongnails]

Ok Kierkegaard... rather Captain Obvious of you, but ok.

[Asker]

The traffic pitch is a good idea I’ll give you that.

[Mariogirl09]

I doubt you'll feel pain if you were a ghost

I couldn't tell you. I never cared to find out myself.

If you're on drugs, it's a hallucination.
