QUIS LEGET HAEC

Wednesday

I was at home earlier and I was watching "eXistenZ". Anyway, I got to thinking about life. I came up with this: What if reality isn't what we think it is. What if what we consider this reality to be isn't real and we are nothing more than an interpretation of another beings mind. OK, I think I just lost my train of thought because I can't understand what I just said. Well, think in this terms. You have a race of immortal aliens that have grown so much and so bored that they decide to make an alternate reality [lets use the game on eXistenZ as an example]. Anyway, they have grown so bored of their unadventurous and unending lives that they decide that they want to experience mortality every once and a while. So, one of their "scientists" creates a new reality, one that hooks them into a super computer and allows them to experience everything that they don't feel or sense anymore. Catch-22, they go in with no memory of their previous life. Lets recap:

1. Bored, all knowing, Immortal Aliens
2. Sientists create game
3. Game allows the expierence of mortailty.

So, we are nothing more than a generation of a grander mind somewhere out there. That's funny. So what happens after death? And what if our true selves are fifteen year old geeks with nothing exicting to do with ourselves but sit around and count the stars. Would we want to wake up and realize that it's more fun down here in the "GAME"? But then again, that race of aliens are extremely immortal (a plus in my book) and also all knowing (or at least more knowing than we are here). That's funny. Would you consider such a world? What if all we are is a bunch of numbers in a CPU somewhere and people are watching our thoughts unfold, or giving them to us for that matter. What if our reality is no bigger than a Playstation 2 and we are taken out to play with only as often as a 10 year old would take out his Playstation to play with. Downloading himself to feel because his reality has no feelings. A world with no senses and a world with senses. Which would you pick?
