    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 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.

            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.
