What's real and what's fake? It's never an easy thing to
   determine. Written words can lie to different degrees, including
   these. Spoken words can lie. Body language can lie. Your eyes
   can deceive you as they're perspective is always limited. (can
   you see what's behind your screen right now? No, it's invisible
   to you but someone on the other side of the screen where you are
   can see it, but then they can't see what you see) Popular
   opinion can lie, one of the greatest weakness of shared opinion
   as a measure of truth. Your emotions always affect your
   reasoning process, for it takes an emotional push to help you
   decide one way or another about things. Your reason can change
   your emotion. Apathy, disinterest, boredom, following a system
   of thinking or a methodology instead of your passion can lie,
   because the system can be wrong. Weights or probabilities can
   substitute for the emotional "push" but the initial hypothesis
   or the final conclusion can be wrong, because again, the system
   or methodology could be wrong, or the human who first asks the
   question or interprets the answer is still human and suffering
   from the same potential flaws as every human.
   It doesn't even have to be 100% wrong. Just a little wrong can
   lead to a big wrong. So what's real and what's fake? What's
   right and what's wrong? What's completely true and completely
   false? I don't know. Just do the best you can with what you
   have. Don't lose hope. I consider life to be basically absurd
   and I watch the games that go on and observe. Perhaps that is my
   game. Observe the absurd and be grateful that I'm here to
   observe it.
