I know lots of things that aren't real. All you have to do is be stupid. It's easy.

If you zero sum in Elder Scrolls you don't just vanish, you get retconned out.

Fun fact: There were over 7 billion people on the world (our real world) until earlier today, but your memories have been retconned so that it seems normal for the world population to only be ~2 billion.

You could write some good horror stories around the concept believing there are x number of people in your life / the world, and becoming increasingly alarmed as you notice inconsistencies that could only be explained through the actions of people who do not and never have existed. There already are some, even!

MikeJF posted:It's possible that saying 'lol I don't care' to a powerful enough degree that you can survive the realisation is an act of will strong enough that it isn't meaningfully different from saying 'gently caress you I still exist anyway' Sure, I can agree with that. I think there's a difference of tone which may justify different effects: one is an imposition (thus one becomes ascended), the other is disregard (thus one is liberated), if that makes sense. Joe Slowboat posted:I think it’s easy to underestimate the sheer degree of bad it can be for someone to be in doubt about the continuous reality of the world around them. If everything is fictional, malleable, and without inherent substance, the option that is neither ‘awaken’ nor ‘continue to insist on the meaning and reality of unreality, and be as a lucid dreamer’ is ‘exist in a world where nothing around you has meaning or reality and can change or be changed by outside forces from a higher reality with no recourse.’ I mean, to emphasize, this is posting about fiction and some neat concepts referenced. I think that a serious philosophical inquiry on those topics for our world with all that entails is definitely out of my league lol And thanks for that elaboration on the end there. "Acceptance" is a very fine detail that I didn't see elsewhere about it and makes a lot of difference imho.
