What is real?
What exists when no one is watching? anything? Everything we KNOW by direct experience seems to be the product of our own mentations, that is, we appear to be receiving data from a source outside ourself and then converting that data into an experienced universe. Does this experienced universe match the hypothesized "real" one that is seems to be modelling or are we all just, am I just, dreaming? Popular movies such as the Matrix and THE 13th FLOOR explore this inability to tell which is real and which is virtual in a dramatic style, but the question seems as old as history itself. The buddhist concept of maya or the illusory world comes to "mind". Plato's shadow world is another ancient version of this same conundrom. It seems to me that whatever is REAL has, at least in part, the ability to dream and think about its dreams. The dream of reality may be accurate to reality or may be completely alien, but without the ability to verify which is which, we seem forever destined to be tormented by this question. So far I am only sure that experiences are facts, items of perception, but beliefs about them are never more than speculations and guesses. Jiohdi 21:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

evil
Looking at this problem another way. What exactly does Evil mean? Evil is an evaluation of some event or person by comparison to some ideal or standard. If a God exists and claims the right to decide what ideal or standard everyone SHOULD follow, then he creates both good and evil at once by setting this ideal in place. The tree of Knowledge of good and evil in the bible story for example would represent such a line in the moral sand so to speak...and its prohabition to mankind was the claim that ONLY God had the RIGHT to draw that line. If we assume an all knowing being, there may be some severe problems, such as how such a godlike entity can call anything REAL, evil, compared to what? this being would KNOW anything he used as a standard of comparison would be a false standard and thus a lie. An all knowing being would see that every moment is just real, not good nor evil. Assuming a real being could only KNOW what is real, then knowledge of what has yet to occur would not be required and this being could, with far greater understanding of the true potential of all beings, set standards that he knows they could live up to. The only problem then is if this being claims to be God and yet does nothing to prevent what he can prevent, why would anyone consider this being other than evil for not doing so?

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jiohdi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jiohdi~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
