A thought experiment: The rainbow temple
#15
RE: A thought experiment: The rainbow temple
Sorry about the necro.

Sometimes I compare our reality to a 3D game.
Only when you move the mouse around are the actual pixels dynamically created to show the next frame. It didn't exist before then. Nothing exists other than what is on the screen at any given moment. Yet we have the illusion in the game that there is a big area to explore! There is nothing else there. It is only potentially there. We dictate what reality we experience.
This argument will hold more ground if we were living in the matrix.

Interesting philosophical concept.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
