You can't believe
any input. I mean the Matrix took that to a funny but extreme idea but people have been struggling with that problem for thousands of years. Every thought you have is a result of or is dependent on external input. How do you know there isn't a dongle in your wire? You don't.
I mean I try to use Everquest to help me understand, like for example I have a Manastone and when I put it in your trade window you're not looking at my Manastone, and when I put it back in my inventory that's not the same Manastone I had before. I call that the EQuantum Theory which helps me to understand nothing is real or at least nothing is as perceived, but I'm having a hard time so far.
