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 center 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
