We might not even exist - we could be a simulation or even just the imagination of some higher plane being. The absolute only thing that we can be completely sure of is that something is real somewhere, at some level.
Same sort of thing. Sure, my entire existence could be the product of a delusion of some higher order being merely keeping the results of my senses consistent with what I consider “real life”. All my previous experiences could be complete fabrications done convincingly enough, including previous musings on this.
So fucking what?
Until any of that becomes provable or has direct impact on the experience I have as “real life”, it’s nothing more than extremely boring navel gazing.
Non-falsifiable philosophical wankery dead-ends and a waste of energy to seriously consider. Better ways to spend what I pErCeIvE as time.
