    That means that we can't figure it out, thus no need to bother about it.

    Or to put it simply, would the agents ever allow the movie Matrix inside the Matrix?
    Of course they would. It is so we disregard that thoery as a fabrication of man, and ignore it.


    As it stands, I am fairly certain that things exist. But my conciousness reels back from trying to figure out why, so I think of other things. I am in a suspended frame of mind untill I die (or untill I find enough conviction to take up one point or the other). If my soul goes to heaven or hell, I can say "hey now, thats what is". If my conciousness dissapears, than the whole question would become moot.

    But, that's the beauty of it. For every thousand people who ignore it, some won't. Thus an increased amount of people aware of the idea will always lead to more people testing it. It will therefore increase the probability of a severe discovery leak.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Why does anything exist?

    Because it does.
