I inside, I outside
The chapter I inside, I outside for me is, lets call it "weird", the question fernando asks himself "What if we are just brains floating around in a bottle full of preserving liquid and some cruel Maritian scientist is subjecting us to a virtual experiment?" I think this question is going to far, I am not saying this is a dumb question because I understand that philosophers think of everything possible and they go very deep into things but me in my personal thoughts I do not think reality is a dream, I think reality is what we are living and what we are going to live, for me reality is: we born, we grow, we live our life's, we enjoy moments of life just as we suffer sometimes, then we all are going to die. I am not saying this 100% true but because this is what I know this is what reality is for me. Nothing will make me change my thinking, nothing in this world will make me believe that we are in a dream or that "we are victims of a malignant spirit, powerful as a god and wicked as a devil who spend his time constantly misleading us". As Fernando said in the chapter "How can we always be dreaming when the very notion of dream only makes sense in contrast with our waking moments" I believe more in this question than in all the others he asks. So as you can see I believe more in the real world and I think that is the only reality, why thinking in things we are never going to find they are true?

I don’t agree with you Alejandro, maybe this is a very difficult chapter to understand, and yes he goes too far with the questions he makes, but I don’t think that he is dumb. In my point of view Fernando Savater you want to understand life better. I think that the answer to the questions he makes are useless because it wouldn’t make any difference, but he isn’t dumb.
