On the fake or dream discussion. I agree that it doesn't matter but for a different reason.
No one after a certain age can believe FULLY that the world they believe they exist in is fake without large ammounts of proof.
Lets say you design a system that requires that they FULLY believe everything they have ever known is fake to be shown that it is fake. This could continue forever because none of the people in the system could bring themselves to believe, without any doubt, that everything doesn't exist. They would need the proof that can only be given if they believe fully. It's sort of a loop.
Think about it, is it easier to believe that your family, your house, and your friends don't "exist", or just sit back and pretend that this concept is impossible?
