Depends on definition. If I define myself as a part of my mind, then there is a me. Ta-taa
Well yeah, you can construct a 'me' and this 'me' would be a known concept. But has this constructed word 'me' actually been seen? Has this constructed word 'me' ever seen a 'me' ..Can words see?
'me' refers to a part of my mind, not just a word. You can somewhat see that part in action on a brainscan.
So the 'me' exists on a brainscan, as an image, so to speak..
Does that image of the 'me' on a brainscan have consciousness?

No, just like a photograph of a mouintain isn't the mountain. How many more idiotic questions will you ask me?

Perhaps “mind” is a mislabeling of the brain? In which case “mind” is still a term, a concept, a thing, just in certain instances misapplied to other things.
It's a concept known for sure. But have you ever actually seen your own brain?

Why are these questions idiotic, aren't we just having a philosophical discussion about the exact location of the 'me'
If this 'me' doesn't have consciousness, then how do you know the 'me' is on a brainscan?

No, you're not capable of having a discussion, so of course we're not having a discussion.

Hey, that's just a cop out. .just because you do not understand how to engage in a meta conversation.
Ok, bye loser. Don't ever respond to me again.

You're a solipsist (aside from also being insane in a different way), solipsists are incapable of engaging in conversations.

Oh you're back, knew it, can't resist a good old chin wag can you.
Just for the record, it's not a someone who is a solipsist. But I guess you will struggle even with that meta conversation too. Never mind.

It's a fact beyond reasonable doubt that it's a someone who is a solipsist: you. But as I said, you're also insane in a different way.

Yes, the you that has never been born is an insane idea, at least we can both agree on that score, maybe in a different way, same difference though.

Well the solipsist you was born. Maybe if she hadn't hit her head when she was little, things could have worked out more favourably.

A mountain is known, never seen.
A 'me' is known, never seen, comprehend?

Is this what you call philosophical conversation. Poor you. You're just really bad at communication on a meta level, bye.

Of course you cannot run through a mountain. That's not the point being discussed now is it, try not to deflect.
