The Story About A and B. Part 7

“Hey you once said that the guy across the screen can make anything appear, right?”
“Yah so?”
“So I can request that he make someone appear here right?”
“Please, no more Donald.”
“Not Donald, something more realistic.”
“Go ahead.”
“Hey, erm, Mr Guy-across-the-screen, please can you make a really beautiful blonde chick appear now!”
“Hi, I’m a really beautiful blonde chick!”
“…”
“I can’t really see that she’s beautiful. For all we know she could be fat Whoopi in disguise.”
“It sucks to be in a world of fonts.”
“Ok fine. Even if you see her, so what?”
“Then I’ll be overwhelmed with candy in my make-believe eyes.”
“Let’s assume you’re a real person then. You look at a beautiful blonde. But what makes you think she’s there?”
“My eyes tell me she’s there. Is there an argument to it?”
“But the eyes are a physical part of your body. They can’t be trusted. Imagine you are part of the minority who are colour-blind. You can’t trust that the colour of an object you see is the real colour everyone else sees.”
“Fine so?”
“From there we can tell that our eyes tend to play tricks on us. We can’t trust the physical world we perceive.”
“So when we look at anything in particular, it might not be there at all?”
“It’s a possibility, but not entirely true. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.”
“So my beautiful blonde is really fat Whoopi in disguise?”
“Could be. I reiterate, our eyes tend to play tricks on us. In your case, it might be that you are so desperate to see a beautiful someone, that when some hideous bloke abruptly appears, your mind play tricks on you due to your sick desperation for beauty and you see a beautiful girl instead.”
“Hey…”
“That’s merely a possibility. I’m not saying it’s true. The bottom-line I am trying to put across is, what we perceive in the physical world is unreliable.”
“I think you should give better examples.”
“Next time then. For now we shall face demise yet again.”
