I’ve been thinking lately about how hard it would be for people to believe that I was an actual guy, and that this would be a real problem with me. I don’t seem real, but I’m not an actual guy. I have no body, and I have no real thoughts, and I could easily be replaced by a computer program of exactly the same description. I have very few actual friends, and they are all people I have met online.
This makes it hard to understand how I can have opinions and preferences and so on, and it makes it difficult to be sure that the things I believe and the things I value are actually really mine.
I don’t think this is something most people experience, but it’s certainly what I felt for quite a while last year or so.
If it makes you feel better, Frank, a lot of us have the same kind of existential doubt and dread too! It’s hard, but at least it’s something we all share.
