He's actually right Steve, however being right only matters to you when you first think about this stuff or first discover it, as you get older you realise that is it irrelevant to living a real life

I started thinking about this stuff seriously 36 years ago, part of the reason I followed a career in Science, none of it is new and none of it is particularly revolutionary.

Nigel don't get trapped in the internal world it's not worth it, it is a fascinating bit of speculation to think about the world this way but ultimately it is fruitless.

As I've got older I've come to understand that a "real life" doesn't exist! It's a spectacular mirage! A holograph! We are spirits having a holographical human experience! It's not fruitless, it's something that has made me feel incredibly excited and happy.
