Well you say how can I be sure the world around me exist?
Through observing similar experience. For example, I observe someone burning their finger. I recall a similar reaction when I experience it. I see a beautiful park, and read someone else's description of it. I hear a speech and confirm it with others. I smell something delicious and hear someone else describing it's smell.
If I say my senses are deceiving me, then I must conclude everyone is being deceived by these similar experiences through their senses. Experiences are subjective, but similar experiences show that not only you (if you can prove your existence) but others are experiencing something objective - universal. Whether this is timeless or not. It is a truth in a point in time. If I can share similar experience with others, I can reasonably conclude they exist. Since they can think like myself.
Now I ask, is truth truly bound by time?

can prove the russel hypothesis is wrong,
Imagine a teacher teaching this philosophy today and said that the whole universe is created last five minutes and the year after he thought the new students the same thing saying that the universe is created last minute, does that mean that his previous conversation never happened. In other words you and I can have a conversation about this philosophy now and then talk about it next month, does that mean our current conversation never existed and you yourself don't exist now. You can apply this for internaty thus making you a non existing being which contradicts with russel's hypothesis
And like this i proved that this philosophy is wrong ladies and gentleman

What if we're globally dreaming and death is the only way to wake up? And the only way you attain the realization is to die and that everything is an illusion but we sense this illusion and all of our minds are tricking us and making us to believe that we sense and perceive everything when in fact, everything is just a mutual perception of everyone who experiences the false platform?
I don't know. Maybe I just need a good sleep.

A common theory for the matrix is that it is a trans analogy. Gender identities and gender roles are social constructs. Some of us will not fit cleanly into this system. Once you realize this you can make the the choice that every trans person had to make at that time. Take the red estrogen pill to accept and embrace the dangerous freedom or take the blue Prozac pill to live in and cope with fictitious reality in which you live.

It could be that he tried to trick whatever was creating this illusion by saying and even thinking that he -knew- that nobody made this all up and that it is the real creation of a god. However, I have no clue what the end goal would be other than perhaps to waver the attention he might have thought he had from the creator of this life by pretending to go along with the dream itself. Idek what I just wrote

Timothy Leary introduced the red pill to me back in the late sixtys, but it was mixed with the blue pill, purple micro dot let me know that their is a God, and he created us to be good slaves, without access to our higher authority and the bliss of love and our connection to all, yes it's true that we only use a small percentage of our brains because the rest has been locked away for the grand awakening.

Rene deCartes & his apples- so skeptical that Cartesian Skepticism is named for him.
skeptic - a person who questions whether anything can be known with certainty.
empirical belief - beliefs that we form through the use of our senses.
radical skepticism
Russel Bertrand - 5 minute hypothesis
deCartes DOUBT - 7: 04
deCartes Foundational belief - -I think, therefore I am-

-Modern philosophy begins with Descartes, whose fundamental certainty is the existence of himself and his thoughts, from which the external world is to be inferred. This was only the first stage in a development, through Berkeley, Kant and Fichte, for whom everything is only an emanations of the ego. This was insanity. - (Bertrand Russel -History of Western Philosphy- pg. 8)

Can I doubt that the word exist means exist?
That it doesn't mean not exist
or that it doesn't mean both exist and not exist?
The laws of thought seem more basic than cognito ergo sum.
He know that things are what they are and they are not what they are not and that something either is. or isn't, not both.

-I think therefore I am- is actually considered begging the question since that statement is already assuming the -I- in the premise. The best way to rephrase the statement is -X thinks, I am that X, therefore I am thinking, therefore I exist- - Kierkegaard. This takes away the question begging.
