Is anybody really real? Were all nothing together, though nothing must be somthing, so what are we?

All they are is [awkward] to read (as in that cool, tingly sensation on my face when I get [embarrassed] from witnessing someone make a very awkward and/or inappropriate gesture in a conversation that is either completely unrelated to the topic due to their own ignorance or just overbearingly strange in a bad sort of way.) That's right. Your sarcastic remarks can be so embarrassing to read I have to air my shirt to get rib of the uncomfortable , sticky, itchy feelings. Other than that, they can only be [hilarious], so please spare your dignity and my general comfort (or misplaced entertainment) and refrain from the.. [*cough* 'sarcasm'].

If you are having trouble establishing what is real and what is not, how do you know you actually posted this to ATS? How do you know that all these replies aren't just being generated by your own mind? How do you know ATS is real? Or even that you are real? See where things start to go when you begin having trouble with reality, Spiraling into questioning your own existence is not a good thing (who knows, maybe if you stop believing your real you will cease to exist?). Be careful my friend, I'd advise at least considering seeking help. You are possibly suffering from the beginnings of mental problems... on the other hand you may have reached a new level of clarity for a human being... personally I'd say mental problems possibly stemming from an unsatisfactory life and generally poor life experiences. Seek help.

Slavery is not something I consider good enough to accept in my daily existence.
Because this is what we are, slaves, you either accept it or reject it,
The truth is technology exists to make work easier for us, but instead,
we work harder than ever before, and for less.
Seems we are going back in time towards the 1800's where social programs were non existent
and the average literacy was predominantly present in the upper strata of society.
If we all rejected this slavery, this mediocrity as you put, and decided to collectively
build a better world for all, maybe then we could finally find some kind of fulfillment.
At the moment the majority of the population feels anomic due to unhealthy social constructs
that have been imposed on us all by those with the modes of production.
It all comes down to Anomy and the rejection of slavery, if you are happy being a slave,
then I can only feel pity for you, but something tells me you belong to the upper strata
and merely view the rest as play things, why else would you tell everyone to accept mediocrity?

We all know what needs to be done, yet no one lifts a finger, I find this fascinating.
Maybe it is true what they say, revolutions are created by opposite sides of the same coin.

Oh but there is, I know from experience.
Nothing like four walls and an unknown amount of time
to put things in perspective for you.
