What about when you aren't looking at my post?

Thanks for bringing that up. I mean the thing you are aware of.

Currently I conceive of change as involving two different things that exist one after the other. So a change occurs if one thing exists and then a different thing exists. Is this a good way to conceive of change? If not, why? What then is time? And what exactly is the difference between these conceptions (if there is any)?

I'm not trying to push any belief or prove anything. I'm simply trying to know the truth about my existence. I've encountered a major problem with solipsism that I want to share. So here's my logic: I can move my body. You can't move it. So that's one major difference between you and me. That means you and I are not the same being. How then can solipsim be true?

Because you and I are doing different things and thus have different lives.

What do you mean by person? Why did you draw the conclusion we are the same person?

How can you be me since you aren't even creating what I'm creating? We already established your contribution/creation is different than mine.

So there are at least two different creators.

Your contribution and mine are different.

You partially contributed to the creation of this post as opposed to creating it all.

There's a difference between influencing someone and doing what they did. If you have the same level of control over my body that I do then you should be able to make me post a particular message on this forum.

How is that a proof that you moved my body?

The one referring to itself.

This is between me and you not some other imaginary being. Can you move my body like I can and do and if not why?

What do you mean? Prove you can do that.

I agree I have limited control over my body. But let's consider the parts I do have control over such as my hands that I'm typing this with. If you are me then you also have control over my hands so then you should be able to do what you want with my hands but can you? If not, why?

In that case what was moving the dream body?

Why do you claim I'm not listening?

Is that what you're doing right now? If so then wake yourself up and prove it to me by moving my body a certain way. And if you won't do it then why not?

I don't understand what you mean. What are you claiming?

Lol what exactly is your point?

@Osaid "The nature of reality is that it is always changing and not changing simultaneously. It's an imagined duality." That's like saying a light switch is on and off simultaneosuly. Can you elaborate because that doesn't make any sense to me. What is an imagined duality?
