What Is Real? by Bruce Rosenstock

November 26th, 2007 2:31 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Spend two days (or more) performing reality checks. Make it a habit. How do you know when you're awake? Do you have any personal dream signs? When you've completed this task, try lucid dreaming.

Who is the real George Bush?

- smaller

Nov 26, Bush with Olmert

Nov 26, Bush with Olmert

Can this be true? Why the smiles? Planning a sneak attack on the Iranian nuclear reactor?

Sorry, that's not what this task is about.

This proof has been flagged by several of your fellow players (for the benefit of all, flags are anonymous). As such, it has been automatically disapproved. Most likely, they've posted comments explaining why they're displeased. If you think you may be the victim of a bug, injustice, or a gang of Rubins, hit up the contact page.

ok, reality is reality

So, we are certain that Bush and Olmert are real, are really smiling, but not really "committed to the peace process," that's just "real" acting, a "real" show. Ok, we know that. They are "really" there: it's real, that is, it's not a dream. It's not my dream. I grant you all that. But aren't you actually the victims of a pseudo-game? You think the "real" game is calling everything real into question, pinching yourself about whether you're awake. That's sophomoric. The real "illusion" is not the whole world, but the virtual reality that people like Bush want you think is really real while you play a mind game with yourself about dreams and waking. You're floating in some silly "Am I awake or am I dreaming" goof, and Bush is projecting HIS reality into your dream state. This whole task is just a front, a cover, for a CIA conspiracy to tap your phones while you're imagining that you're only dreaming that Bush is president. Oh, he's president all right. He's the president of your dreams. You dreamed him into office with your dreamy reality games. While you slept, he planted sensors in your head and made you think you were awake. When you awoke, he made you think you were dreaming. You're checking your reality while he's dictating what you dream.

Ok, now if put all that you just wrote into your completion, we might be getting somewhere...

It's quite good and fine but I think it does a better job of answering "What Is Real?" than it does completing the task. I'm sure there's a better place for it, somewhere. There's definitely a task or two where it would work better.

I think this is all nearly pointless especially what Bush is doing.

one imagines if after age upon age of absence
half gorged with ourselves for an aeon (or more) we're spent
that we forget the possible connections here
that we eat our young and old without fear
that we fatten on smiting and thoughtlessness?
