E. Hughes Quotes

“What options offer us is the illusion of choice.”

On Reality:

“As reality becomes more artificial, the less it resembles objective “physical” reality. It becomes abstract; the environment and social conditions becoming intangible and virtual. Socially, humankind’s immersion into the unreal, an imitation (simulation) of reality is not a conscious or willful act of defiance against reality, but a willful act of defiance against nature through technological advancement.

The arrow of time plays an important role in reality’s progression to artificial reality. Artificial realities do not retrogress to earlier states; it becomes more artificial as time moves forward, with reality becoming less tangible and increasingly more virtual (or digital) over time.”

– From The Absence of Reality: Aphorisms and Observations of the Nature of Reality and Existence by E. Hughes
