So SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCIIIIIIIIEEEEEENCE, here's some homework:

A) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, are human.

B) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, exist.

C) 7 + 5 = ?

D) Prove to yourself that you don't exist.

All answers must be typed out. Grade each others' papers by your own standards.

I am not human. I am a dog. I eat broccoli.

> B) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, exist.

Woof.

> C) 7 + 5 = ?

75

> D) Prove to yourself that you don't exist.

I do not exist. I am a dog and this is good enough to convince me.

I'd ask you first what exactly a human is. Is it the quantum movements that occured and the deterministic environment that encloses them, which resulted in your receival of an internet message? Do you distinguish between life/death in your definition of human?

> B) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, exist.

Prove to me that something does not exist!

> D) Prove to yourself that you don't exist.

If I don't exist how would I prove it to myself? I may assume everything about me is separately unique and does not identify me in any way (ie I'm just the chemical reactions that occur). Not saying dualism for example might be wrong; it may very well be the case that Jesus actually exists as a God or that some other regilion is right. It may be the case that anything we might ever concieve has nothing to do with the problem set. Or something else, or nothing at all.

George Bush is alive, ergo the Death Note doesn't exist.

I can divide by zero, thus I am better than a constricted machine.

> B) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, exist.

Hi.

> C) 7 + 5 = ? (base not specified, assuming hex)

C

> D) Prove to yourself that you don't exist.

I can believe that I am the square root of -1, in which at that moment in time....

Hello! I'm a Blondie Girl. 

> B) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, exist.

I do exist. I have big juggs that can have their own moons floating around.

> C) 7 + 5 = ?

7+5, duh!

> D) Prove to yourself that you don't exist.

That's impossible, if i can exist then how can i dye my hair?

Again, I ask how you define human. Do you really expect an arrangement of electrons assembled into some insipid message would properly identify a machine? Let's go off of what a computer could never synthesize from data, but must either directly textually copy from another human. This would be a variant of the Chinese room, merely copying what a human knows. I will surpass that in excellence. To prove there's a human on the other side of this, consider the fact of your existence, the inscrutable fact that you feel there. Does a machine feel that it exists? No, because even if it does, it cannot sense. A machine is a pile of boulders (electrons) falling downhill. A human has feeling, and thereness. Only a human would have an answer this dumb.

>B) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, exist.
1 (bolean)

>D) Prove to yourself that you don't exist.
As is, I'm a pile of sensory perceptions, any one of which may be a lie. If all is a lie, then my existence is wholly contrived.

No. I'm going to masturbate now.

> B) Prove to me that you, on the other side of this interwebs, exist.

Ask yourself whether you exist, and if the answer is yes and you're sure I'm not you, then there's a good chance I exist.

> C) 7 + 5 = ?

It equals 12, not a question mark. But I guess that depends on the ring structure itself. With the integers mod 11 that could certainly equal 1.

> D) Prove to yourself that you don't exist.

I... wait... what?
