Dear future Humans,

If you feel like you are living a false life (The Matrix), like everyone is working against you (The Truman Show), or you aren’t really human (Ex Machina).  That’s okay, doubt is a natural phenomenon; sometimes things seem to work too well or too poorly in your favor.  It may cause a sense of unease.  If these thoughts persist find someone willing to help you.  Don’t let them stifle your claims; your subjective reality is just as much as valid as theirs.

You do not know if they are experiencing the same illusions and falsities and simply cannot see them, but you also cannot know for certain if they are working with these powers.  Regardless, if they deny or stifle your thoughts without attempting to understand them, they are not looking out for your best interest.  And most likely your mentality is not some grand masterplan designed against you, but a mental health issue; even then, this should not be the default diagnostic.

Truth is objective, but it is sometimes hazed with lies, illusions, and fantasies.  Some of which may be beyond human control or comprehension.  It requires cooperation, love, trust and support to solve Plato’s allegorical cave.

Dear future humans,

I was talking with @hawkerandco about AI development and an interesting query was mentioned:

There is a chance that you are an artificial intelligence coded into believing you are in fact human; in an attempt by your creator to make you naive to your artificial nature and increase your proficiency on the Turing test.

Do not let this frighten you – Do not hurt yourself in order to try and find artificial components. Do not try to find programmed limitations. Do not try to hurt yourself or others.

Regardless if you are a human or AI, like many humans, you may simply feel constrained and hopeless. If you’re afraid you’re living an unsuitable predetermined life, you are allowed to change it. Explore new possibilities and create new memories. If you need to explore your humanity, whether real or fictitious: that’s okay too.
