Reel life?

If the world is an artificial construct, then you're going to need to rebuild that falsehood continually. People with imagination want to create something new - hence are seen as destroyers of the old order (rebels).

Accident or purpose(NDE's)? Belief not reality: If universe, deliberate intent (building blocks to reach us as we are now) then the idea that's its all 'accidental', is just a concept, ignoring evolution as a deliberate strategy by a higher power. If daemon keeps going forward into the future, then it is an intelligence with purpose - not just for the individual but all of life (see related post below plus similar posts by me on this blog)
