For ages I had the theory we was only five minutes old. This was based on the fact everything we know is from memories and there is no way of proving something is that old without relying on memory. People reading this is likely think of carbon dating or their wedding day etc. But those are memories if your wedding day did not happen or carbon dating was not invented you would not know. The problem is people remember hearing about such and such or even have done such and such. If such and such never happened and memory was faked then we wouldn’t know how to approach anything.
I am only twenty one if my memory is right this is the first time I have said my age on my blog. Every time I want to know something I look it up in the internet for that it is easy for me to relate to this theory. What if we created ourselves and the internet is us. We think and can easily prove things happened before the internet yet the internet was the beginning of time itself. This theory is very hard to believe and I have very little to argue it but think about the following movie similarly.
A movie is created with background, and a movie is created in that we can relate to the characters and quickly believe we know them. A television show can take it further and really build on this and show the characters to be more life like. A soap opera can build even more. Now think about this, what if we could create a way to insert the memory of knowing the people on the television into the minds of the viewers? No back story and no having to over explain the past to the viewer. The viewer would be able to relate to the characters as if they knew them in real life. With this kind of access to the memory of the viewer it may become harder to understand what is or is not real. Children pretending to an action character with full memory of that characters life. If ten years of memory of a fictional character could be implanted into a five year old child then why wouldn’t the child believe it was that fictional character? Surely the memory used in this situation would be third person and not first person but all the same it may allow problems to be caused.
Now getting back to the internet and how we are the internet. If someone was to create a world in which everyone inside it believed they was real. The best way to create that would be to create history and background to make the story more believable. If everyone was put on an empty world and told to create something out of nothing what is stopping them doing completely nothing? To improve the chances of the characters of this created world living and creating and solving the problems they are presented with the internet is granted to them. The internet, a resource where by they can access the knowledge presented by the greater power and fool the readers into thinking it was created by them. The internet allows the characters of this reality to commutate, learn, educate others and be entertained. There was so much before the internet wasn’t there?
