my worth...at least not to the powers that be who currently sign my paychecks

Are we really here? Are we just a figment of my imagination. Maybe I'm wired up to the Matrix and none of its real. Just a dream, a nightmare? Maybe I'm in a coma in some hospital and me typing this answer is just all a dream. How would I prove otherwise?

I need to lie down somewhere

So if this is a dream then does that mean that when we go to slepp we're dreaming within a dream? Or are our dreams a glimpse into what is actually 'real'......

This is all too much........I need a coffee.

What is a dream and what is real, how can we tell the difference?

Light bulbs don't emit light? This is some kind of joke right.

I have read the article and just cannot believe it. I have done physics and chemistry and I am an Engineer by trade so I cannot subscribe to this theory. Sorry.
