Thats the whole thing... in the truman show they picked an "ideal" point in history to put him in. Even though they were many years in the future, he was still living in an ideal point in history. For that matter all of history could be fake, I've never taken the time to prove or disprove any of it. Sure there are books... but under the "the world is fake" premise they could all be "props."

It is a self-centered thought... at the same time its the most essential fundamental thought... "who am I?" I feel bad that I spend alot of time thinking about it... but I spend alot of time thinking about other people as well. If I can't figure out the basic fundamentals of life like who am I, how can I decide how to treat/interact/etc with others. Basically its either live like nothing is going on, deny that there might be something greater going on, or be paranoid as hell, and spend my life trying to find inconsistancies that "prove" that something bigger is going on. I guess thats religion...

So, if there is a god, or greater "creator" being. Would it be logical for a creator to create us, yet hide him/her/itself? If the concept was to be hidden... then by process of creation... it shouldn't be our job to glorify the creator, which is contradictory to religion. If the creator wanted to be glorified then it would make itself known, we don't see that either.

I guess what I'm really scared of is everyone else being so much smarter than me that they can realize whats going on. Everyone else has a handle on this.
