Darkfall; it's a metaphysical experience.

Here I was following the tree line in one of my excursions to the goblin area when suddenly I was affixed with a sense of total dread. Not the sort of dread I had been familiar with, but a sudden attraction to what seemed dreadfully absurd. I was suffering from what some smart guy once reffered to as a sympathetic antipathy or an antipathetic sympathy.

The dread I felt was a sort of fusion of the dichotomous simulation vs the real. "What is real?", I asked myself. I was trying to understand what had been plain to me a moment before as I scrambled for cover dodging goblin darts.

Is the world "real" or just another simulation? Can you prove that the signals entering your brain are inputs from a true world?

Are we in a game being played by the equivalent of your irritating 12 year old nephew?

    Either this is the most boring game being played, or my player is a pervert. He makes me....do things.

    Yep, since our brian can never sense the real world, but only second guess from electric signals, we will never know : (

    That’s all well and good but “The Matrix” was run by another machine intelligence which does not answer but only begs the question, “ Is the machine intelligence real?” If you say it’s all caused by “God” then one must ask, “who invented God”?


    Question: If "God" loves you, who invented love?


    God does not "want" anything because  God invented "wanting."
