Does anything exist?

[oldhippydude]

But can you really be sure that you do actually exist? I think the key is to think about our understanding of what existing means.

Yes. I think therefore I am.
Beyond that nothing is certain, I could be a thought in the mind of god, or more likely i could be in the Matrix.

But that presupposes the existence of an “I” that is doing the thinking. You acknowledge this by saying you could be a thought in the mind of god, or in the matrix. In which case, do you really exist? Maybe we can say “there are thoughts that exist”. But that only leads to questioning what thoughts actually are. No?

The "i" Is either doing the thinking, or is perceiving something that seems like thinking.
This "i" exists. What this "I" is there can be no certainty about.

We don’t really know this, though. You can say “there are thoughts”. Existence is already there as an assumption before thinking can occur. So is it right to think that thoughts in themselves prove existence? I’m not so sure.

It might be more accurate to say “I am, therefore I think”.

Hey

I've recently got into squonking and absolutely love it. I'm currently on a mech parralel dual 21700 mod and it's okay, but I prefer the flexibility of reg mods and the ability to fire coils with more mass like aliens etc

So I've been looking through these forums and think I might wanna make my own mod mod. I have an rx200 and a snowwolf sitting around that I could pinch the boards from, although also looking at dna200 board.

I've kinda invested in 21700 cells so ideally would like to use those if I can. To run the rx200 board I'd need to be able to run 3cells in series, the snowwolf board would only need 2.

It's a suitable enclosure im struggling to find - is there anything out there that would have space for 2 (or better yet, 3!) 21700 cells and have room for squonk bottle and a reg board? I know it's gonna be HUGE if it does.

The alternative is I try and design something myself and find someone to 3D print it. But that'll mean re-learning how to use Autodesk (haven't used it for a decade) and then paying through the nose for someone to print a plastic box

Not sure if there is enough spare space to fit 21700's in there but maybe worth a look.
