Yeah, but if you take someone out at the same time, you can at least create the illusion that you didnt.

Isn't it all illusion, really? How much of what we know is actual? We cannot trust what we see, because everything is filtered through sense images and memory. The entire concept of the present is an illusion.

Look at anything...The object you are seeing is he memory of an object, a sense image created by the transfer of information from light into nerve impulse and then decoded in the brain. This may take the tiniest nano-fraction of a second, but it still takes time...everything is memory. Everything is illusion.

How's that for scary?

my brain hurts

Eventually you have toget past all of the philosophical crap and just accept that things are. Because if you could stop believing in yourself out of existance, i know a few people who wouldnt be here anymore.

Deep, dark water. My worst fear is being dropped in the middle of the ocean, no land in sight.

It blows my mind to know that we haven't even come close to discovering what lurks in the deep, black ocean waters below.

Thanks
