Occasionally I write that I loathe the talk about life as a dream or an illusion or a simulation, which it might very well be, but using those terms is dismissive of people’s very real struggles and emotions and feelings. I told one person I find the terms dismissive and she said she likes to be accurate. I felt like saying, “Shove your accuracy up your devoid of empathy ass!!”

One deep thinker has said to me, "Did you ever play a video game, and get so mad you tossed the controller…The video game is a simulation. Your reaction to the video is solid real! The emotions are real."
