Most likely inside the science laboratory of some super advanced class-3 alien civilization existing within an alternate reality,another dimension...

I've come across this thinking before, and the same thought came to mind: It's like saying a cake isn't really a cake. It's flour and water and sugar and flavoring.

Okay, but I'm still going to eat the cake, so the reasoning that it isn't a cake plays no role whatsoever in reality.

I'm still going to live and touch and feel things, so the reasoning that we are nothing plays no role whatsoever in reality.

There are vast multitudes of sounds existing all around us,that we are unable to hear,because they exist outside the frequency range of our hearing,one simple example being a dog whistle...

There are vast multitudes of colors and objects of various sizes existing all around us,that we are unable to see, because they exist outside of our visible spectrum,like gamma rays and radio waves...

We are only able to perceive of a fraction of a fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, most of whatever reality actually is,resides far beyond the perceptive abilities of our five senses...

Amazingly,those invisible and inaudible realities only really exist within our minds and nowhere else...

Nothing is real...All is illusion...

An amazing revelation and an undeniable fact,is understanding that our eyes dont see anything,they are not capable of sight,our eyes are really nothing more than light receptors and so everything we think we are seeing,tasting,hearing,smelling and touching in the real world,is actually happening within a reality that only exists inside our brains,within our minds,so like it or not,admit it or not,all is illusion and we are born,living and dying within a massive lie and an intentionally induced deception...

We have to be in this reality like this, there can't be any other way. What we all want is to feel happy, even those who suffer by trying to work out some model, they do this so they can be happy again once the model is finished.

What if people could feel happy just by using their willpower? Most people can't, they need physical events for this to happen. So to eat a cake is wanting to experience a taste which will bring about temporary happiness, just remembering that taste isn't sufficient (real enough) for the brain to produce the chemicals that bring about this happiness. There has to be some reason behind it for the brain to produce those chemicals, even if the brain can make them without having to eat a cake. That is, unless it's a chocolate cake or it's laced with some drug there are no chemicals in the cake itself that would create any happiness. That reason is the idea of the cake, something which is not so much about nourishment but as something that can be enjoyed, that will taste good.

This can all be traced back to the times when we didn't have the intellect as we have now. Animals need feelings of hunger to go out and get food then they get a good feeling as a reward. They need to get that good feeling after having sex otherwise they wouldn't do it.

People need those feelings, one of the most important is that we are all real (not in a physical sense but more like having a personality or human spirit) and exist in the same single shared world which can have the same truths for everyone, they don't want to think how one is only talking to the image of the other in their own mind. The first creates feelings of not being alone and the chance of everyone uniting together under a single truth (which many religions tried doing), the other implies we are forever alone in our own minds which might reflect the real world (both physical and our assumptions about it) in some degree or until science and technology has made it possible for brains to link up to eachother and truly share brains. And most importantly, the latter implies each individual has powers to make up their own truth, which makes people unpredictable and what is unknown is usually feared.

"Reality is an illusion taking place inside our brains and nowhere else"-OP I think you are right and after eons of pain, pleasure, being slave and master, angel and demon...I did say pain already didn't I? Yes well one day we will awaken all alone seated in a lotus position. We will be in a white room where musak is being played, (you know the kind you have heard in an elevator many, many times)....you notice that I didn't say music but musak to note it's ridiculously banal quality. As you sit there looking about the white room, you see nothing but white walls and you say to yourself, WTF? WTF indeed.

Too much Pink Floyd can lead to using 'Pillow of Wind' quotes and thoughts of reality in terms of our senses.

Fun in college w/ certain paper guides, but it can lead to serious debilitation if scrutinized too much.

Just be.
