I think i kinda get what you are saying... for me the answer is yes and no...

The world did not exist for me... so... no

The world did exist doe others born before me... so... yes

Also... if the world didn’t exist before me then where did my mother come from?

So i guess the answer is actually yes whatever way you look at it

I have a headache

How can it be juvenile. Plenty in history have thought about this.

If your going to die one day, you have to wonder.....

People are way too afraid to be different.

Holographic universe?

The theory is certainly gaining ground. Its kind of comforting if its true that all this is just virtual reality.


whats the difference between a virtual reality, and reality?

If you're talking to me I have a simple answer for it.

I am me. I know I am me, I exist, I think therefore I am, etc. . . All other beings are an illusion created by me to hold the stability of my conscious universe together. This doesn't apply to other people because they simply don't exist in the "True" Reality where no one exists except for my consciousness.

But you will say "I know that I'm real, what if you're the one who isn't real?" Well what if I'm not? This doesn't break down the argument, in fact it propagates by ensuring that my reality is a stable one where other people "exist" because I have created it so that every other "being" in my reality believes that we are taking part in a shared reality.

That's SO confusing, I hope you get what I'm saying.

But it's a theory only a theory.
