[delightfulirony]

Another fairly sophist line of questioning for you all.

How do you not exist but live?

Comments

[valentineluke]

Probably for the similar reason why bumble bees fly.

[delightfulirony]

And if you rip the wings off them?

[valentineluke]

Ants.

[delightfulirony]

Because they're insignificant, or?

[small_comfort]

Maybe...

By being... fictional?

[delightfulirony]

And in a place like this, what is fictional?

[small_comfort]

... I don't know?

That wasn't a riddle?

[delightfulirony]

Yes, and no.

[knightbalanced]

I suppose the superficial answer would be ghosts. But that seems awfully shallow.

[delightfulirony]

And what if it's the truth?

[knightbalanced]

Then the multiverse is getting a little predictable.

What do you think?

[delightfulirony]

It has always been predictable.

I think the idea has merit.

[sideralis]

...as memories do.

[delightfulirony]

I knew a man who was only a memory, once.

It made things a bit more complicated.

[sideralis]

And I, a woman.

It would.

[delightfulirony]

You have experience, then? Or simply speaking metaphorically?

[tadano]

If you mean to be a sophist...isn't your question simply a deception?

[delightfulirony]

Well spotted. Although there is some seriousness in it.

[tadano]

Then in light of seriousness.

Living does not necessarily dictate...existence, no?

[delightfulirony]

Correct. But in the spirit of sophistry, I'm actually looking for my own separate answers.

How does something that only exists live?
