There is a difference between creating a perception and creating a universe. I can "perceive" that everybody i interact with on the tfp is actually a really advanced a.i. program. That doesn't mean that you all are in reality computer programs. I can also "destroy the world" when i go to sleep, but i'm pretty sure that the world still exists for my more nocturnal friends. I think that that perspective on reality leads only to crazy mumbling and unshaven wandering through downtown america.
