Why should I believe this "Plato" anyway? Who gave him the news?

Speaking for myself, which means for all of so-called you, I'm just a brain kept alive in a vat in the thirty-ninth century, and all of "you" are mere hallucinations induced electronically by the Vatmasters.

Prove me wrong. Don't bother. You can't. Because I'm only talking to myself.

Yawn.
