Pragmatism?

Imagine you are sitting there reading what is here. How would you prove to yourself that you are reading this?
One way, could be to take what you did, and compare it to what you are doing.
Another way could be to compare what you are doing to what you did.
Yet another way could be comparing what you will do, with what you did. And so on,... is there a way to prove that you read this, that would be some kind of axiom? I am not sure what I[s] (being) asked, but if anyone does, is there no current topic, so...

What I got from it was that what you and he are calling comparison I would call relativity. Sweet perspective gomp!

That's what he seemed to be questioning himself if that's how you looked at it.
Depends on how you look at it as gomp was saying how do you prove one way of seeing something is how it is-I think.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Gomp, is this why you called Einstein crazy today?

maybe it isn't relevant, since whether or not you REALLY ARE sitting here reading this doesn't seem to make a difference one way or the other.
but maybe it IS relevant..!

Well, there's an external world, and an internal. This is because the external world is made by our organs, and they themselves cannot be the work of our organs ? hihi, it cant make itself? This reply then, is 'proof' enough for me that I've read. Need more ?

That doesn't really make sense. How could I answer your question if I hadn't read your post?

Because I have no need to prove to myself that I am reading your words to myself, I will not be sitting here trying to convince myself that I had read what you wrote.
If you had asked me to prove to someone else that I read what you wrote, I would recite, from memory, the words from your post, or at least your general intent.

"maybe, what I'm saying?

Answer my question, please. Were you actually saying something logical? Because it wasn't registering, and sounded suspiciously like pretentious BS to me, not to be rude or anything.
