No you think that you process energy and information and that transmits to a physically laid out reality - you cannot prove it.
What's not to say that you are a construct of another's imagination - an imagination so deeply intelligent and concise that you presume yourself to be a free willed independent thinker but you are really nothing more than a tiny character in an amazing plot?

So as stupid as the sounds, I want you to fire ANY philosophical question at me, and I will do my best to answer it in a scientifically proven form.
Define universal truths...the universal truth is that everything is one big infinite paradox...one big cycle. We are an advanced form of the atom.

How is this a "scientifically proven form"???
And I don't know how everything can be a cycle and a paradox at the same time...those are contradictory.
And what scientific proof do you have that we are an advanced form of the atom?
So let's move from "universal" truths to "absolute" truths.
Do any absolute truths exist? If so...what are they...and prove they are absolute truths.

Ok, my question is: "Why?"
Thats the ultimate philosophy.

exactly he doesnt mean any truth only existence forces creations of connections with absolute truths making some forms of life truth superficially real of its deepest suffer of force struggle in rejecting it
i give you an absolute truth, lol i am who knows, joking, no but seriously, truth life is the simple equation, positive towards positive objective conscious life
that is why there is noway out of truth, it is expanding always and cut its connections with what limited its expansions, so gods got the powers on what is down to realize of their cowards lives alone
truth walk up and up freely and we are stuck down with those gods

Saying he is both tall and short are assumed truths and it just generates a never ending answer to what he actually is.

We serve a purpose and yet no purpose at all. That's the neverending paradox.

If this is truly impossible to grasp, why should we believe you about it? It's like saying "everything is x, but I can't tell you about x, just believe me."
Also, how does the confusing logical entailment of this paradox in a human mind then map onto external mind-independent reality? Historically, paradoxes have been nothing more than a confusion in the way we speak or the result of unnoticed conventions that we can change.
