    The point here is that we think. Therefor we are. So, that is a fact. We're not sure if the other person exist, but they seem to come to the same conclusions. So, I assume they are real? I think that is a reasonable train of thought. But they're is no way to be 100% sure.

    "We think, because we are. And if you think about it, we probably are. And if we aren't, then maybe it doesn't matter"
    Sounds like something an actual philosopher would say. Because if we are, and assume we aren't haven't we wasted our existence? Yet if we aren't, and we assume that we are, there is nothing to be gained nor lost, isn't there? Therefore if we think, we are, for if we weren't, we wouldn't have thought, yet by thinking comes thought and from thought is thunken.

    How have humans become the most top animals on the planet? It's because we're the only ones who ask questions - apart from owls, but they only want to know who's there.

    One way to tell if you are dreaming is to pick up a book and try to read. If the words are all mangled it's because one half of your brain is asleep. The half that reads. I think this is right; I learned it from an episode of Batman (animated) so IDK.
