All I said was that, if this is true, then that "feeling" of freely directing our own actions, and even the "feeling" of having an identity, is an enormous illusion (I said delusion but people don't like that my use of that word). That is an incredible thing if it is true, isn't it?In what reference frame is the feeling of having an identity an illusion? Are you a philosophical realist?
Identity is what it is. From there, reality is the illusion (or at least its actual existence is unprovable.)
I'm here. I'm not so sure about everything else.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
