Hence, I literally do not comprehend how you ignore your own logic to make your own logic work.
And I don't understand what you mean when you say "quantum physics is my barometer". How does quantum physics prove whether you, or anything for that matter, is real or not?

I wasn't arguing for whether I was permanent or impermanent. I thought we were determining if one was real or not (like as in: does one really exist). And for me, it is not even a question, so it kind of boggles my mind. From my perspective the fact that I do indeed exist is the most fundamental and obvious thing in my consciousness. My self awareness validates the fact that I AM. To me, it is intrinsic, and undeniable. I mean, can you really doubt that you are AWARE? And is not awarenes the very epitome of existence itself? Be objective here, don't argue just for arguments sake. I'm really perplexed why this isn't apparent.
