If "We don't live in the real world, rather in the virtual world generated by our brains", where do those brains come from? A brain is a big glob of neuronal and glial cells and chemicals and stuff. So all there is are brains? That's a weird picture, like from an SF movie. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
