A thought can't be fake, so there's no point in saying that it's real. On the topic of thoughts and imagination, have you ever wondered where they come from? Where is our actual mind? How can you hear this without actually "hearing" it? All interesting questions branching off the main topic.
What is real? What isn't? Just a perception. You don't know. How do you know Obama got re-elected?
You probably saw it on the telly. Or logged on to twitter. Somebody told you. This is knowledge? This is a rumor. This is your brain's interpretation of words on the screen, seen by your eyes.
All you know is that you think you saw it, think you heard it.
Are the words even there? Are you hallucinating?
It's also rumored that you aren't the only person on earth. There are **** tons of people.
Are you sure?
We're all robots. Except for you.
This could be a dream. A fantasy.
Would you dream about this post? How do you know?
You could be a part of an intellectual experiment. Actually, you are the experiment.
They created you to believe in delusions and sensations.
Real is merely electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
No but really, I think it really depends on what you define as real. For me I think what I see, feel, hear, etc. is real. Though maybe a sci-fi movie may not be a real ''story'' it's still in your reality meaning the actual motion picture is real.
Such things as dreams are real because you are processing them in your head, you sometimes dwell on them too. This makes them real. Now they don't make them real experiences in your actual personal life, but theoretically they are real. I wouldn't really know how to explain it but whatever.
I mean what if you, yourself, were real but everything around you and everyone you see are projected in your own brain, you really couldn't be sure because their ''minds'' are not yours if you can get where I'm going with this.
In reality you will never really know what is real or not... Or maybe you do. Who knows...
In the end I try not to think about it, even though it is an interesting... Subject?
I think we can all agree that if you can taste it, it is indeed real.
No, as your taste buds could easily be fooled. Basically any information we receive could be produced by something other; just watch the Matrix movies.
I think we can all agree that if you can taste it, it is indeed real.
You can lose your taste buds down to stage where you've got no taste for anything and everything tastes the same. Does that mean 'different tastes' aren't real?
We could be living in 'The Matrix'. All of our sensual experiences could be being provided by wires into our brains, and our bodies bagged up to provide nutrition for a machine.
