To believe thoughts occur without a thinker is contrary to common sense, the legal system, the Declaration Of Human Rights and all civilised behaviour.

Very few people try to prove they - or the world for that matter - exist because it is not necessary to do so.

Can you name any sane person who has expressed doubts?

It is significant that there has been no response to these points… 🙂
 
I will forever be the first to admit I’m nowhere near the sharpest tool in the shed…
Maybe if someone explained to me face to face the theme of this thread…
Would be appreciated …
You can’t have thought without a thinker…
You can’t have a reaction ( mallet hitting head ) without an action (swing mallet )
You must realise you exist because your thinking about your existence…
We are mortal beings, we are not the figment of the mind of a spiritual being…
 
The OP is a stupid question. You can introspectively perceive your thoughts. It is conceptually incoherent that one could think one has thoughts without having them. And if “you” have thoughts, then “you” is doing something. Nothing can’t do anything.
That was extremely obvious.
