how does death being the only real way to find out contradict it? i'm pretty tired so i'm not in my best Philosophizing shoes. but it doesn't really make a difference if it's real-real or fake-real when i'm smack in the middle of the experience. i don't mind either way as long as it doesn't interfere with my life, and until AM started speaking again it didn't. it was just a weird but harmless personal creation and afterlife belief.
