@chuckychuck8318 I think the reason we feel bad about that is because you realize that everything is created by your own mind, so you've basically been talking to yourself. But, if the illusion has real conciousnesses to listen to and interpret your inputs, whether it be words or actions, then it might have been worth it because your information has been percieved by someone else. You did something that will be remembered by someone, and they think for themselves, so you can have a meaningful interaction with them. Everything else is just a matter of your physical senses anyways. 90% of the world around us is invisible to us, and animals with different senses can perceive things that we can't. And, if anything anyone experiences or observes, is, by definition, perception, then what does it even mean for something behind or other than that to "exist"? The game might be fake but it's still fun as long as the players are real.

I was also gonna say for example, if there was nothing in the universe but a those two things, then would 3 really exist? But then if there was nothing then no number would exist cuz there is nothing to relate to anything else. Just like if u have no objects then there is no motion, or if there are multiple objects but all the distances remain the same, then saying they are all moving left right or up or down ate all the same as saying they are not moving at all cuz motion is relative. That would mean that if you have nothing then the relationships also don't exist cuz there is nothing to relate to each other. BUT, then I realized that if u have repetition, u could have "two of nothing", which is kinda how set theory defines numbers I think. But ig then the question is, in what context is two of nothing actually "two nothings" (which is when you count the (empty) set itself as an element that can be within other sets, and when is two of nothing just still nothing, in a more physical feeling sense ig.
