What Is Real
Trevor Something
GENRE Hello Bomb... are you with me?
Of course
Are you willing to entertain a few concepts?
I am always perceptive to suggestions
Fine... think about this then... how do you know you exist?
Well of course I exist
But how do you know you exist?
It is intuitively obvious
Intuition is no proof. What concrete evidence do you have that you exist?
I think, therefore, I am
But how do you know that anything else exists?
My sensory apparatus reveals it to me
How do you know that the evidence your sensory apparatus reveals to you is correct? The only experience that is directly available to you is your sensory data, and this sensory data is merely a string of electrical impulses that stimulates your computing centre
In other words, all that I really know about the outside world is relayed to me through my electrical connections
Exactly!
Why... that would mean that... I really don't know what the outside universe is like at all, Richard
That's it! That's it!
Intriguing... I wish I had more time to discuss this matter
Why don't you have more time?!
Because I must detonate in 75 seconds
"What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."
The only thing which exist is myself. In the beginning there was darkness, and the darkness was without form and void. And in addition to the darkness there was also me. And I moved upon the face of the darkness. And I saw that I was alone
Let there be light
