If reality could be controlled with the mind, could you imagine yourself out of existence? By this I mean, since you must hold the THOUGHT of yourself not existing, must you not then exist in order to hold the thought of yourself not existing?
I don’t think I am therefore I was?
Nah, - doesn’t have quite the right ring to it.
Look, this is just silly. I’m not even going to move it to GD. MPSIMS for this one.
Ok, I can’t resist.
Descartes goes into a bar and sits down.
The bartender walks up to him as says “Hey bud, you want a drink?”
Descartes thinks for a second, says “I think not”, and POOF! he’s gone.

Well, of COURSE you can. Anyone who has the Planescape setting for Dungeons and Dragons knows this! For those of you who don’t, there’s a faction in Planescape called the Sign of One. They believe that thought creates reality, so they have the power to imagine things into existence. However, if they roll a “1” on their power checks, they can accidentally imagine themselves out of existence. The only things that can bring them back are a wish spell and another member of the faction imagining them back.
I think the lizard has been reading too many books on quantum theory. DTL, you should try religion. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about the possibility of imagining yourself out of existence. Of course, there is the possibility that God could imagine you out of existence, but I don’t think He’d do that. Heck, He puts up with me…
