If you knew in the past that you were thnking something, but no one else saw it or might even have thought you were thinking something contradictory to what you were thinking, then did you really think it?

If you told someone that you were thinking the thing, would that make any difference??

how do you know if you really thought something?? what is 'really'?? there is no 'really'.

If you asked the person if you had thought the thing, and they said yes, then how do you know they really said it?? You could be hallucinating or something, and you just imagined they agreed with you.

We can never know of any objective reality for sure. All we know is what comes in through our sensory inputs, and the records of things happening in our mind. In MY mind. I don't know if any of you are real... For all I know this is my dream.

There is no spoon.
