are emotions and thoughts real? Only to the one feeling and perceiving them

are the signals that produce these things real? Most probably yes

is the world we live in real? What does it matter, it works as if it is real and that's all that matters

People seem to agree the answer is yes.

So, if some humans think about God and they believe that God makes them feel things, does that mean God is as real as anything else?

So if I stab someone with a knife, then their brain sends/receives signals telling them to feel pain, is that pain real?

Quote (Ocen @ Dec 13 2011 04:16pm)

if a person receives pain signals, but can't translate them into pain, is it still pain?

I said the signals are there, they can be tested. But one cannot get into your head and feel your feelings. At least not with this technology (and I doubt it will happen).
