What if you couldn't objectively prove you exist, yet from a functional perspective, it really didn't matter?

If I couldn't objectively prove I exist, could I still sue someone for personality infringement?

What if we're actually computer programs living in a hologram simulation of the universe that was so precise, it produced experiences exactly like we were human beings living in the actual universe?

The pill, also being part of the holographic simulation, would behave only as the programmers intended.

In saying that have you committed an infringement of the personality rights of the programmers?

Can simulacra be sued in such a fashion?

C'mon, I was hoping for another irrelevant "what if" scenario. You can do it!

If there's one thing RWHN's right about, it's that pot makes people say really stupid ideas out loud.


What does RWHN have to do with this lawsuit?

Bringing up RWHN in a thread about  "Personality Infringement" isn't a sequitur, but on drug threads it is.

Oh, they're all drug threads now. We have had our chance for a drug thread free life and squandered it. That's how they work, they infect your life.

Just that I assumed you had to have been high as fuck to post something that stupid, and it made me think of him.

What if?

I imagine that's one of the things that the outcome of this lawsuit will help us find out.

If I recall correctly, I was not, but I may have been in a weird place in my head for other reasons at the time.

Probably not my best decision that day.
