Yes, you guys are saying conceptualizing it existing. What if our conceptualizations are true, but don't exist. An example is the imaginary numbers.
x^2 = -1 = i is true, but it does not exist. So if our conceptualizations are true, but don't exist, how does mere thinking mean you exist?:conf: |

I think youre missing the point. The act of conceptualising requires that something actually exists in order to conceptualise it in the first place. What is being conceptualised is irrelevant.
Arguing about human constructs like imaginery numbers is also irrelevant. |

| I know, I'm really trying to see if there is a way we don't exist. This thing we call reality could be a dream, or maybe our universe is a particle in and of itself of a larger reality, or even a computer simulation!! |

That's normally called masturbation, so we know you must be existing. |
