"So, if you are alone on an island you can no longer be self-aware? Cogito, ergo sum requires no outside confirmation." You challenged me to prove the point. I provided the necessary evidence. I can be self-aware alone on an Island without proving it to anyone, just as I can be alone on an Island having acquired vast amounts of knowledge via computer usage but have no way to prove this keyboard ever existed.

"There are four known dimensions in the universe, each arbitrary in terms of their standards and measurement. Neither of us bothered by this arbitrary nature. We can arbitrarily pick a point and go in a direction infinitely. Each dimension has an infinite level of granularity. Observation of an "object" is not necessary to show it's existance. Your turn. Confirm or deny and then add." jttmab I agree to your four dimensions and raise you six...for now: 'ideas', 'circumstance', 'change', 'perception', 'thought', 'value', and 'sentience'.
