My theory on what is real: (Tell me what you think?) Would appreciate as much critique as you can think of.

What a pompous response, and such a common one too. It's always the scholar who uses it. I imagine now, sitting there behind whatever device it that you're using, you're going to experience a cognitive dissonance and turn off but I urge you to read Nietzsche's "We Scholars" chapter from Beyond Good and Evil.

Nothing in the above post is illogical, or unsubstantiated, in fact a lot of it resonates with Sartre's Philosophy of Existentialism. I'm just putting a spectacle on the utter pointlessness of purpose, though having gone away and thought about it, I've thought perhaps human existence is intrinsically tied with purpose, for our base survival demands it. So perhaps it is inescapable. But it demands another look, for as long as we're so progress-oriented, we'll never learn to enjoy where we are at. Nietzsche makes reference to this concept in the chapter "Redemption" from Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

And I'd like address once more your response, ask yourself why you find it necessary to try and dissuade people from learning to think for themselves instead of meeting them on the topic of debate.
