"Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence."

The thing is, I am happy with my reality and I get pissed off when wackos want to force their dark and twisted versions of reality on the 'Real' reality of my mind. ------------------------- |

Ok. Take your delicious chocolate mushrooms. Let's say you slap an "elf" when you're in your own reality.
Actually no, I'm having PTSD of that class trying to debate this conundrum. I go relativistic on this, you enjoy your mushrooms and I'll enjoy the real world. ------------------------- I type on fone 99% of time. Let the typos slyde. Thanks |
