Nice dream/nasty real?

Put a thousand monkeys in a room and you get the work of Shakespeare. Put a thousand mentally inspired members in a forum, and you can figure out any truth, even the meaning of life.

If you knew you were living in a simulation or dream, but the real world turned out to be empty and desolate, would you try to free everybody, or live out your life in the dreamworld?

I thought this forumn needed a new topic, so - claps hands, rolls up sleeves and digs the keyboard out of the detritus - here it is!

(not intentionally matrixy believe it or not!)

Well... if I knew it was a dream, I could manipulate it to be whatever I want. Dammit, I'd stay in it! If it was more of a nightmare, I might leave and try start over... But everyone else can work it out for themselves... Most people would be happier not knowing at all. Let them pods be.

Yeah, It really wasn't a matrix reference at all! Honestly!

I just wondered if people would rather live a comforting delusion, or a trying freedom.

I already live in a wonderful Pixieland of my own creation, so reality is what you make it.

The world is an onion

Postby nil on Wed Sep 27, 2006 4:00 am

As the Oracle once said, "we live in an onion world of reality, when you peel off one layer of delusion, you are merely living in a deeper, smaller level of delusion".

So I think the world in an onion, reality and delusion doesn't matter in the grand scale level.
