Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

How can an IR thermometer have a shared subjectivity with me?
How can you be sure it's not a Cartesian ghost trying to fill your senses into seeing one?
If you think there is a ghost it is up to you to provide evidence for it. And after you do that please explain how your ghost interacts with the real world in a perfectly consistent manner.
Remember it is always up to the person claiming something exists to advance evidence
Ontology is about how we would objectively prove there is such a thing as the real world. There is a reason in science we're not talking about truth finding, but falsification.
Basically we can only come up with theories and try to disprove them. Objectively proving existence is an unsolved problem.
But that's a tldr of the entire history of philosophy, there's plenty of there to explore.
We got it backwards from the beginning. It is all these weird brain in the jar arguments that need to prove themselves not the physical world that does.
