Posts Tagged ‘brain’

This theory is crazy. So be prepared. Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about reality, perception and models of the world. One thought lead to the other and suddendly I found myself thinking about this really obscure idea:

Could I possibly be a brain, wired to another brain, the “antibrain”?

Like two computers. Linked together. Think of it as two computers sending information to each other. The antibrain and me, both of us are computers. I play the role of the user and send data to the antibrain, which runs a world simulation. The user interface could be something like synapses of my brain. It doesn’t even need to be something like synapses, as the antibrain creates everything I consider to be real and I can’t perceive anything else. I could be a mere sophisticated computer as well, still thinking that I’m a human being. God is the allmighty programmer who hopefully pays the bills for my power supply.
