Everything is just electrical impulses,, neurons firing. ... There are no active or inactive actors.Consider it similar to a dream. All those perceived dream characters are a product of your mind and do not exist as seperate physicfal entities, so why must what we perceive of as seperate physical entities exist as a seperate reality?

the mind/soul is a calculator. it calculates. it only sees the world in so far as it can calculates. the world only shows to the mind the part of it that can be calculated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the rest we are not privee to.

Infinity isn't a number and so you can't divide by it or multiply by it. Infinity is generally defined only within the bounds of limits, indicating that something would increase without bound if the process continued. When you "get" infinity over infinity or something similar in a limit, what you actually realize is they would both increase without bound and so the answer won't be that simple.

[weezylemon]

also for your math portion. i already posted this in a different format on your other video. the formula to comprehend is (1/inf.) x inf =

i've found that it depends on what math level you are using, each has a different rule as to what infinity is. some demand that there are different infinities while others claim that 1/inf is 0.

0,1,n,inf? pick your poison.

ironic that inactive is the one that demand the most theory. i got to this point and let theory go for a while. the best thing to do is to find other dead ends, compare them and break bounding one at a time.

There are only 2 possibilities left then. Either A. Reality is some sort of quantum complexity, and because of that, it cannot be corrupted like so because it's not something so vulnerable like an organ, or B. It's somehow scientifically impossible for the brain to be fed reality in a jar.

[HyperSonic1987]

What does this mean for reality? Well, it just means that it's not up to us to decide whether this is real or not. It is what it is; this is reality, and that's all there is to it. It is real, it is actual, it is all there is, there is nothing more. That is the most logical path. To think otherwise would be a futile attempt. Thus again this brings forth the question "What is reality?" If reality is logically face value, well... what else can we say about it?
