if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it or see it and the tree never gets discovered how do we know it even fell down where's the proof
also like did it even exist i mean object permanence doesn't have to be a thing and since we never saw it it never existed to us
so like if the tree didn't exist then it couldn't fall down and we couldn't ignore its existence, but if we ignore the existence it implies there IS an existence and therefore the tree DID fall
goddammit I think I just created a grandfather paradox

it's not even 10pm and this is the kind of shit i think about
