We Are a Kind of Virtual Reality

Our minds really are a kind of virtual reality. We are virtual reality, ourselves, constantly checking against actual reality and up dating our model of the external world inside of our minds. The illumination of the actual physical world is incurring, strangely, within the utter darkness of our own brains. In there, it is actually physically completely dark. And if that were not enough, what we understand we then control. It is like magic, only real. We are like gods. But often, when you think you have achieved any of that, you haven't.
