Who said it’s a ‘complete existential crisis’?

It’s just a fact of reality that no one else on HN can verify with certainty whether or not you are a genuine, bonafide, human being, especially online.

Everyone who is engaging with you is just assuming you are.

I said that. If you thought I was wrong in that assertion, then all you had to do was stop questioning your entire existence here. The fact that you continued to do so lends credence to my assertion rather than refuting it.
