Reality, What is it?

Well I was on the Off Topic Forums and I came across a thread with the same title as my blog. These sorts of things have interested me for a long time and is the main reason I do philosophy. Here was my reply, so if you yourself have wondered things such as this, you might be interested. Those who dont know what I'm on about, please read and tell me what you think.

"One idea is that this is not reality. We could merely be seeing things since we are in a kind of suspended animation, or our brains are, and we are shown created images. Reality is only shown once we awaken from our sleep and this "reality". You might be asking how this works.

Well, I cant tell what someone else is thinking, I can only trust them and assume, I cannot go into someones mind and read their thoughts. I can only be sure of what I am thinking. Because of this, I dont know if they are real or they are programs being made to say this stuff. Everyone on GS and in the supposed world could be none other than programs similar to the ones used for AI in games. The only thing I can be sure of is the things I think, feel, see, etc, but even then those can be fake and just programmed in. Cogito, ergo sum. I think therefore I am. We cannot be sure of our existance, the only thing we can be sure of is that we dont know if we do or dont.

Another thing is that I know of nothing that happened before my birth. All I can do is believe history books and people who had lived in the time before me, but it could all be made up unless I create a time machine and travel back in time to see if what they say happened really did, but since I dont have that technology, I can only believe what I have been told my so called history books and people before me, if they even exist in the first place."

Anyone find it interesting? I hope so :).

Anyway thats all, see you space programs.
