Ed Fornieles: The Limitations of the simulated self

You live within the infrastructure of the simulation

Your brain your modelling device feeding of a network of others

who unable to grasp any solid reality is forced to invent it.

In the model nothing is necessary, perception and reality are up for negotiation. With alternative decisions and environments, you might have been someone completely other, society and culture might have followed any number of trajectories, each resulting in distinct worlds. In this sense our personal and cultural models are up for grabs, our perception of whatever truth might be lies somehow in our inputs; we are what we eat.
