Edwin Shade,

good argument, but in my opinion if someone observes a mythical object, they are either also a myth (if they actually observe it), or they just believe that it exists (if not actually observe). So, your "self" also should be a myth, but your brain is real, so, since you write this, it should believe in existence of your thoughts (not actually interact with them).

Note: if this seems to someone   too radical, technically, if something is a myth, this does not mean that it does not exist. This means only that its existance is not provable nor refutable in physical reality. As for gods: technically, they may exist, but this will not ever be proved or refuted, at least, for physical beings. However, if, let's say, a god exists, then he is sure that he exists.
