Only people with giant egos think there is no ego.
You just don't get it, Phet. We do not really exist! Oddly enough the woo-woos and the neuroscientists actually seem to agree about this (for different reasons, of course)! It is a theoretical conundrum.

I don't know about you, but I certainly really exist. The idea that we don't really exist is just weird. The fact, if indeed it is a fact, that everything is composed of fields at the very smallest level does not invalidate the reality of the end product. A chair truly exists, and so does a person.

when you are having a dream, in the dream it feels utterly real.
when you wake up you realize "oh! it was just a dream! it wasn't real after all! "

My post was sarcasm, Michael. So you agree with me and Phet and disagree with the woo-woos and neuroscientists! Whatever the chair actually is does exist as do we, Michael. It is only that our perceptions of reality are designed to enable us to function at the macro level so that whatever actual reality IS there is interpreted for us. It is similar to the icons on a computer screen that interpret the "electron reality" within the computer for us so we can use it.

You may be right. There are posters I wish did not exist.
I am not a dream. I am a person who has actual existence.
Come on Michael. Wake up to the woo!
