Ah! You mean this dream. yes, it looks we can share part of it, and
interact with many users, like in second life. But to believe there is
a primary world behind this requires an act of faith, and eventually,
even if true in any sensible sense, if computationalism is true, we
cannot use that faith, we have to reduce its appearance from a much
small act of faith, like in the faith that x + 0 = x, x + successor(y)
= successor(x + y), ...
It's hilarious that you think being awake is a dream and an hypotheis
based on evidence is faith. I think you're stuck in 1984. I once noted
that 10^120 + 1 = 10^120.
