    One existential problem for any person is that nothing can be proven to be other than subjective.

    That isn't true unless you believe the world is a dream.

    As everything for a human passes through perception filters, all is illusory.

    I have no sexual attraction whatsoever to goats. Proof positive.

    Can you prove it's not?

    There was a man who dreamed he was a butterfly. He was happy. When he awoke he was sad he was no longer a butterfly. Was he a man dreaming he was a butterfly or a butterfly who dreamed he was a man?

    Of course not. But maybe a person's offline avatar is not who he/she is as well.

    Anyone who is being unfairly blamed by many people is really a 3,000 year old goat in Deeper Reality.

    Do people in your life put unfair blame on you?

    What does that have to do with being 3000 years old or a goat?

    If many people blame you unfairly, then in a Deeper Reality you are a scapegoat.

    Are you still a scapegoat if you don't care?

    I do not know. I am very sensitive to criticism.

    Thank you. I am an Aspie. I have Asperger's Syndrome aka High Functioning Autism.

    Some people consider it a disability, other consider it a gift. In some ways both are correct.

    I am a 3000 year old goat. Why would I want to prove otherwise?

    1) Your account is 3.5 yo. My is 6 yo. Can it be said that you are 3.5 yo and I am 6 yo? Absolutely not -- we have offline personas.

    2) Offline I am a 50 yo man. This is my offline avatar.

    3) In Deeper Reality I am a 3,000 year old goat. This is a more profound level of Reality then my offline avatar.

    I don't understand your objections. I said I am a 3000 yo goat. But if you can't accept my temporal-biological identity then that is your problem.

    My original post had nothing to do with gender identity. It was about video games, Internet, and Reality.

    Many gamers and forum users adopt the role they play online.
