First thing that came to mind:

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather. -Bill Hicks

That vibration part is actually true.

[QUOTE="xscrapzx"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]I wouldn't describe myself as a solipsist, but I do think that solipsism asks a meaningful question (yet at the same time gives a pretty awful answer) - i.e. what the fvck is going on? On its face it's a painfully naive question, but a lot of the time the most naive of questions are the most meaningful ones. -Sun_Tzu-
Yes indeed, like what is the meaning of life. Is there one? Also even though I'm blabbering on here, as this philosophical thinking interests me greatly, life in itself is very very strange. Just think about life in general. We live on a sphere traveling at high rates of speed across a galaxy that is so large it takes a 100,000 years for you to travel across it going at the speed of light. Insane stuff.

Even asking what the meaning of life is takes a lot for granted. What does it even mean to live? It's a similar, yet deceptively different question to think about.

Indeed, and there are plenty of simple philosophical questions that can become very convoluted very fast.

There's no evidence for that

No, I'm saying that under the influence of a certain something, the vibrations do really occur. I'm not trying to imply that that is how reality actually is.
