I am instead acting as if I thought I was thinking.…
I took you at your word on that :).
Anyway, it seems to me that you either are thinking, think you are thinking, are acting, or think you are acting. Any of these things implies your existence. Therefore, you exist.
I think we’re not on the same page. I’ll try to be more clear. I don’t really believe anything, nor do I believe the previous statement, nor do I believe the statement before this, nor the one before this, and so on. Essentially, I don’t believe anything I say. That doesn’t mean what I say is wrong, of course; it just means that it can’t really be used to convince me of anything. Similarly, I say that I’m acting as if I accepted the premises, but I don’t believe in this either.
Also, I’m getting many dislikes. Do you happen to know why that it? I want to do better.
But how can I know that I’m acting?
