What if humans were artificial life forms (heh, and aliens for sure)?

[Takereasy]

The question speaks for itself, pretty much. The term artificial could be defined as: Constructed, as in a fine plate of spaghetti.

Humans, well we all know what they are. Aliens, same deal.

Life, that which...which, nevermind.

what if you don't really exist? you're just a computer image created to pacify me while i generate body heat that machines use as power . . . :O

[Takereasy]

That's kinda where I was going with that.

Ah, and like a speaker can be used as a microphone, what if all CRT screens actually capture a video feed of the rooms they're in, and send a weak encoded signal all the way back to the power/monitoring facility. Who would ever know?

The Matrix...is everywhere.

They're not THAT good, Joe. But you just keep taking them, if they make you believe you exist.
