Life isnt real. So far as what YOU think it is.
Ex: Matrix
That was like a week ago
We are running through the same global events that have occured for "100s/1000s of years". The only cjange is the date/our perception of present.
Ex: The Revolutionists fought against Tyranny and forged this country 250+ years ago. We are literally doing it again. In the past people went to bars, school, qorked on fam farm. Today we go to bars, school, work from home. Our reality is based on the current "time" setting we are in. We are characters in a play/movie. Have you ever watched a movie? Its feels real, emotionally griping, personal. You can rewatch it over and over and still have similar/same feelings. You do that with your memories as well. You just happen to have your entire worldview as YOUr singular person's viewpoint vs. Being able to see the big picture (ie whole movie). Essentially like YOU are playing an open world video game .
Imagine trying to visualize a 4d object. Reality is that 4d nature while we can only really perceive the 3d simulation we are in. (Vidrel of explaining 3d objects to a 2d being)
