There's something I've been thinking about for a while so I hope all of you will be patient enough to indulge me.
A good deal of fantastic and seemingly-impossible things happen in this place, ranging from all of us raising dragons to encountering killer plants like ones out of an old horror movie. I know that I don't just speak for myself when I say that a lot of the things we encounter here simply don't happen where I'm from... In fact one could even call all of it downright impossible and against the laws of nature and physics! I mean, the moons changing us into animals? Some mysterious space society that we've "mysteriously" encountered right when they need our help? It almost sounds like a video game!
Which brings me to the question I'd like to pose to all of you...
How do you know that any of this is reality?

let's say you live here, "conscious" with everyone else, for... a year. maybe longer. then one day you wake up back where you were before. the year you spent here doesn't go away, right? the people you meet, the stuff you do... it's still real.

Or they could erase our memories before we leave.

there is no "technicaly a simulation." are you talking about true virtual reality? it's in the name! a real experience is a real experience.

[He absolutely is. But not intentionally... probably.]
But that's where you get into splitting hairs and debating how real something a computer is programmed to create is. Of course even if the world we interact with is generated you're right that our reactions are probably genuine enough.

For example... Say someone you become close to here dies, but they're actually fine and just wake back up in their body wherever it is. Does that death matter?

i almost want to say something else entirely instead of giving you what you want... but right now i still just think you're obnoxious, so sure, you're the worst.
