It's going to be about how my mind deteriorates while studying for a midterm...specifically a metaphysics midterm...while i'm on two different prescriptions for whatever sickness I have. Watch and learn.
So Anselm established God's existence in a little less than two pages and I am soooooo grateful for that.
Now bear with me, this might get crazy, but: so we understand God to be the greatest thing that has/is/will exist. When we talk about God or the idea of an all-good being, it exists in our understanding at least...even if you deny its existence, you understand what it is so it exists there. Well, Anselm is then like, so don't you think that existing in reality is greater than just existing in the mind? Yeaaah, the idea of me having a pet squirrel rocks, but acutally really having one is soooooo much better. Ok, Anselm would say, since reality is the best existence and God is at the top of best, then God must exist in reality. TA DA.
It's a simple argument, so using Parfit's reasoning, it must be the explanation as to why we exist!
DONE AND DONE!
