Is this an hallucination?

If it was a government induced fantasy (lol, that sounds humorous), would we be allowed to know history? Would we know about the Revolutionary War or the Civil War or Hitler or Stalin or even the non-violent historical figures?

The government would make it so that everyone would be happy all the time--"One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy sentiments!"

You got it all wrong! Is the Fast Food industry that puts drugs in their food so that we get addicted and continue to buy their hamburgers and Fries. Didn't you watch Supersize Me? 🙄

That's kinda the whole concept though, if it was a "government induced fantasy" (😂 ) as you put it, it would be impossible to tell if anything we thought we knew was actually true or not. Course it's a load of crap in the first place...

If it was real, the government would dope us up on soma and use our bodies for energy (a lá The Matrix). Then, at the ripe age of 60, we would be processed into raw materials that would be used for decanting.

The government might be putting hallucinatory drugs into the food to hide how bad the world has actually become! and thats why we always eat loads of food as we've become addicted to the drugs it contains... And the recreational drugs make the hallucinatory drugs in the food inactive, allowing us to see the real world, and this is what you see when you're tripping out, (sometimes bad trips)...ergo thats why they are illegal as they dont want us to discover whats in the real world...

PARANOID YET?!

I vote this for happy thought of the day. 😉

wow.i tort i was messed up.

You ppl are weird. Seriously. I have a f*ckin headache, and this sh*t just made me feel a whole lot better. Thank you 😐 hang
Anyhow, even if, lets say, in an absurd way it is only in our heads, then id rather not try to find out the truth." Ignorance is bliss" 😉

i wouldnt quite say that the government puts stuff in food which has haluccinagenic properties{thas kinda ridiculous} but fortunately for the government, they dont need to cause they already control what enters ur mind through indirect ways to such a great extent that u know nothing of the world other than the one ur living in

Reality is everything we experience and what we experience is different for everybody. We all create our own perception of a collective created energy that forms our environment or surroundings.

No, I don't take recreational drugs, so my brain is not damaged. The truth is, when you take recreational drugs, you damage your brain.

That is perhaps the STUPIDEST thing I have EVER heard.

Let's look at the facts.

1. You state that the government is lacing our food with Hallucinogenic drugs correct ?

How would they be able to do this and keep silent , or compensate for those who don't eat government sanctioned/grown food ?

2. You then state that these drugs are supposed to give us hallucinations to 'cover up' how bad the world is.

That is foolish and shows how retarded you are , no hallucination is exactly alike. You could give 100 people a shot of LSD and they would all see something different(EG : Dancing candy bars , penis telling you to kill yourself , hands turning into tire-irons etc) . There is no known way to make a drug give off a 'uniform hallucination'

3. Finaly you tell us that recreational drugs allow us to see how bad the 'Real ' world is.

Let's just ignore how dumb it is to state that several distinctly different drugs can all cancel out the affects of another drug (Which by the way would usually end up killing you) and hop onto another factor . If the world is 'This bad' then why don't we physically notice it. Hallucinations can only compensate for so much.

you realize of course that now I have to silence you

Is this life your Imagination? No, it's your sense of imagination. You can imagine it however you want, just don't tell a whole bunch people about it..........

so, what about all the anorexics? do they see the 'real world'? because if they wern't eating the food laced with hallucinatory drugs..

but we put it in the air too

there is no escape from the mind control

Don't worry about the government, worry about malevolent demons.

Epistemologists have already ground this type of question into the dirt. The Matrix merely presented the concept in a novel manner.
