Welcome to the Hoax – but Who Are You Going to Tell?

Let’s be honest here – we do not live within an accurate portrayal of the ‘real world.’ We assume that our perceptions – our sights, sounds, and textures – are accurate descriptions of the world around us. But they are not; rather, they are the filtered representations that have been processed through us. We can never perceive the world directly, just as we can never look directly into our own faces. The world we perceive ‘out there’ is a projection of the inputs we have received; it is our brain’s best guess based on the data available. And since most people’s brains work in a similar manner, the final projection onto life’s movie screen is more or less similar. The brain filters out the majority of inputs in order to keep us sane. What it finally passes on to us are nothing short of ‘brutal representations’ that allow for our general survival. This means that technically life as we know it is a simulation, or simulacrum – an image or representation of someone or something.
