Moses was high on drugs: Israeli researcher

[Pat Mathews]

Suppose you are a brain in a jar, a prisoner in Plato's cave, or in the Matrix. Then you have two choices. You can play the game as if it were serious, as all god game players do, and treat real life as real; or you can do as Plato;s escaped prisoner and Neo did, work your way free, and try to get to ---

---to the real world? Or simply to the next level of the game? Aye, there's the rub.  And most of us have a lot of trouble deciding whether we're pawns or queens. Many of us who have decided are quite visibly mistaken as far as our fellow players are concerned.
