Nope. Wrong. It is not obvious by any stretch of the imagination. As we are truly "brains-in-a-vat", it is entirely conceivable that everything you perceive is nothing more than your own local reality created in your mind.
It can be said as a possibility but it's not conceivable to me. I know I don't have the power to be constantly maintaining the existence of myself.
I know for certain I am not moving time, moment to moment. I know the flow is not in my hands.
