    Prove to me, that the chair I'm currently sitting in does not exist and you win a cookie.

    Prove to me that the bed that you are in, while in deep sleep, exists.

    I could easily prove it if you let me borrow a chainsaw.

    There is no empirical proof that your chair exists, as for there to be empirical proof of the chair's existence, the chair would have to exist. Which it doesn't. You asked someone to prove that your chair doesn't exist, which has negative connotations. I interpreted it as you implying that you believe the chair doesn't exist, but you want proof. Maybe if you'd asked if someone could prove that your chair does exist, then we could garner some empirical evidence and voila, you'd have a chair. Hahaha.

    You know what I found out today. (sad thought) Hegel didn't prove the existence of Life or the forms for it alive. He only proved the existence of the idea of living objects. So the proof of someone I don't know sitting in a chair (it may be his chair has gone to the re-cycle bin since the 18th of September) is just useless to me (if Marcel accepted himself as an existentialist he might have stated that, being himself had less).

    Proving that the event was on September 18th in the middle of the night is something else though.
    There was once 'thecry' which shifted it's dates to one year earlier in the name of ignorance of Dating.

    But the... values.
