I saw this quote and it reminded me of this thread.
βLife is problems. Living is solving problems.β
β Raymond E. Feist, Silverthorn
That, when you think about it is awfully true. Life is a giant clump of problems mashed together which makes life.
And when we are here, while we are coding, hacking, doxing or whatever, we're solving problems.
So, theoretically, we're probably some of the most living people out there. Sometimes people call hackers nolifes.
The thing is, they're so wrong. When they are playing their soccer and enjoying their Instagram followers, they're like small unique copies.
They live inside a box, where this is called common-sense. While we, mathematicans, hackers, programmers, those who had dared to think for themselfes for 1 minute, are the new elite.
The people who didn't get dirt on their clothes, and said "yes mommy", and was always listening, they are standing around in panic not knowing what to do.
On the other side there is the mutants that was out exploring and didn't mind about their clothes, that ends up being able to save the world.
That's probably why I'm om HC. People don't understand me, and then there are these people, that does understand you, and listens, it's quiet amazing.
That's what I think in all honesty.~

I never want to think about this kind of stuff because whenever I do I get way too involved and I can't really snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked.

This is a fun test. Look an object that is around you. Observe the object. Study it's shape, color, and texture. While doing this don't touch, or change your view on it. Now take away the texture. You now have an object that you cannot feel. Take away the color and you cannot feel anything from it. Take away it's shape and you see nothing. So this is basically just saying you rely on your senses to tell what reality is. Reality is how ever you perceive it to be. You do live in your own reality that you have created for yourself.
