    Like a dream, you are just me. The floor I walk is me. The air I breathe is me. Everyone I meet, everything I feel, is just me. Nothing is real except I.

      I followed you (Egg Theory) right up until that last line.
      Slash dot? The tech website is the only real thing?

          Damn, was really hoping there was some deeper stuff I was missing. So you’re a subscriber to Egg Theory then?

            It’s not called the Egg Theory. Its called Advaita Vedanta and it’s the oldest religion/metaphysics we have written records for.

            And it can indeed get pretty deep. You should read Shankara‘s commentaries on the Vedas.

            It’s called that from that little story about god talking to a recently deceased dude with the end result being that this universe is an egg?

            Awesome. I guess I’m an egg theory subscriber.
