00:02 - The Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zi

00:04 believed it was possible he didn't really know anything

00:08 because he might just be a butterfly

00:10 dreaming that he was a philosopher.

00:11 - Yes, he wasn't a butterfly.

00:15 - Well, how do you know?

00:16 - The butterfly brain doesn't contain enough neurons

00:19 to generate a complex dream.

00:20 Plus you referred to him as Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zi

00:23 and not Chinese butterfly Zhuang Zi.

00:25 - You must be Sheldon Cooper.

00:27 - Yes, ma'am.

00:28 - Very well, Mr. Cooper.

00:29 How do you know you're not just dreaming

00:32 butterflies can't dream?

00:33 - Because I'm awake.

00:34 - Or are you dreaming you're awake?

00:37 - You can see I'm awake and you can hear me talking.

00:39 - Yeah, I don't know.

00:41 I saw some pretty trippy stuff at a Grateful Dead concert.

00:45 The drummer turned into a tap dancing walrus

00:48 and floated away.

00:49 So we can't really trust our senses, can we?

00:53 - We can validate them by comparing them

00:55 with other observers.

00:57 - But that would mean that we have to hear what they say,

01:00 which requires trusting our senses.

01:04 Do you see a problem with your argument, Mr. Cooper?

01:07 - I could concentrate better

01:08 if you weren't flashing your toes at me.
