I have here a challenge for all of you. Right now I am sitting on a chair in my room. If you can disprove the existance of the chair I am sitting in, I will give you 500 gold. And I am looking for one answer, unless someone out there has a better one...Good Luck.

I cannot disprove the existence of the chair, because it may be in your imagination in which case it exists in your mind and the very moment you came to mention it, it existed in words and now exists in the minds of others thus enhancing it's existence.

There are a few things that could be said, but firstly, things are naturally considered false until proven true in science. So I turn the question around and ask you, can you prove to me it does?

No. I can't. That is a very well thought out answer. That may very well be the winning one. But I'll wait a while. Some one could come out of no where and just...blow my mind!

Judging by a joke a heard a long time ago, my answer is:

hehe ok i'll give it a shot

what if nothing is really what if every thing around us is just in our heads. what if we're all sleeping and comunicating with our minds... and nothing is reality. heck if that chair isn't really there are we even really people... what if we look nothing like we think we look

I cannot disprove the chair because common sense tells me people usually sit in chairs when on the computer. But On the same note I, myself, am not sitting in a chair. I'm lying down. So mabye you are sitting on something else. also can you prove you are or aren't sitting on a chair? Mabye you are trying to trick us by not sitting at all? or mabye you are being technical and sitting on something that is and isn't a chair. beanbag, cardboard, toilet perhaps? think about your answer.

EDIT:::Hey wait a minute, you can't sit in a chair that doesn't exist! Trying to fool us are we? the chair exists because what else would you be sitting on. unless you are lying about sitting?(mabye you are on the floor or bed but still...) So I have a question. Are you sitting down on ANYTHING? because if you are not sitting down then you can't be sitting on a chair. The chair will then be non-existant.

Impossible, because then we just get locked in a battle of non-provable conceptualized thoughts.

the chair doesnt exist because it isnt a chair.


Let me explain...... you are seing and sitting on something. You decide to call it a chair so you can describe to other humans with which you communicate using words. These words dont exist, only in your mind. And what your seing and feeling isnt what exists, its what you see and feel, what your mind tells you your seeing and feeling.
kinda of like taking a movie with a camera: what you see when you watch it is not reality, its a representation of reality. but it can be fake, a lot of movies are digital nowadays, what if you mind made some sort of digital image that was not at all wat truly exists.

another thing. Imagine your just a brain in a glass jar, and all your nerves are linked to a huge computer simulating reality, you would have no way of knowing that what you were seeing and feeling was entirely fake.



so there....your damn chair does NOT exist.
