Sin Cerebro (Without a Brain)

[Ray1990]

Well, there is truth and then there are probabilities, considered opinions based on facts, evidence.  There is belief, of course, and that's where the problems start.

As for simulation, well who knows, and you're absolutely correct, even if a simulation is true we can only really trust the reality that we have to deal with.

And it is a sculpture that has been carved just as much as the statue of David by Michael Angelo is an awesome bit of stone chipping, 

Assumed truth - it's on the news so it should be true! That said it doesn't work out well when a person questions everyone in any form of authority in their field such as doctors, cops, builders, journalists etc.

It's stone? I honestly thought it was something like pinewood or spruce
