I mean, if you really wanna wild out, you don’t even know that I was generated by human or human mechanisms.
All I am to you is light that your brain has translated into words with meaning and structure. That light is emitted by electrons passing over neatly arranged molecules. Those electrons are reptesented by ones and zeros in a software and hardware stack - a display driver, a network card, ethernet cables, fiber optic cables, several sets of these. They ultimately connect to the lemmy.world instance computer that has those same magnificent connections to my device that I am digitizing thoughts onto.
Am I real? Im only as real as you, or any other user on this site. The reality is, everyone can be considered a bot.
May I interest you in some Kitaro Nishida? This is basically his thesis. (There’s more to it than that, and he develops his ideas further as he ages, but it all comes back to basically this)
There are two times - now, and not now. The future? Not now. The past? Not now.
30 minutes? Not now.
30 seconds? Not now.
The words you read that I have typed? Not now.
Now, is, the essence of reality. What does that make not now? Not now is the essence of how we perceive reality.
Nice to meet you, kindred spirit
Feels good to know you’re not alone doesn’t it?
There’s more of us around, just a lot of people don’t feel comfortable speaking out against Big Time.
I mean, you could be a CIA agent or an AI and either way you’re not near enough to interact quantum mechanically so are you even real?

Except for you.
Are you ok?
No.
Thought so 👍
Ah yes - I also am in favour of more ADHD.

I will definitely look into his work thank you :).
