Brains in Vats
What if we don't really exist? What if it turns out we're just brains in vats, imagining our lives?
It's a popular sci-fi premise. That one, and the one where brains-in-vats are betting quatloos on you.
But a brain in a vat still constitutes a form. What if we're just a thought, bereft of even brain and vat? Or what if our bodies themselves are just good-looking brain vats?
