   How do you form your notion of true or false?

   I'm suggesting that its 100% retarded to suggest something can be 100% anything. Haha

   The only way you can confirm true or false is having to trust the word of another source, such as your own body's components. Your consciousness is not your body's components. Your consciousness is first hand, but your body's components and their output are second hand. Your whole existence and everything around you depends entirely on second-hand information, not handled or touched directly by the consciousness.

   That doesn't confirm anything...it still assumes the universe we/you live in is real and not just a simulation.

   Alternatively, what does true or false mean to you? Define it simply. What does it mean to be veridical or not?

   For example, I could fool a computer in the US into thinking it was located in Canada and was a Canada Goose and was the size of a house and could make bread and had three sisters and two brothers and was a real animal living in Alberta. All I would need to do is alter its code to reflect the reality I want its consciousness to see, feel, and sense, and it would have no idea any of its reality was manufactured. It would truly believe it, because it has to, because that's what its code told it was true.
   
   So when you walk up to a tree, you see the tree, you feel the tree, you smell the tree, but that doesn't mean the tree is really there. It's only as real as your senses tell you it is. When you look at your own body, that doesn't mean your own body is really there, only that your senses say it is. Your consciousness could be somewhere else entirely, and you could actually be in a totally different form and a totally different body. You have no way of either confirming or denying, except to trust second-hand sources.

    If you can't tell the difference between what is real and what isn't, does it matter?

    Sure it matters. It matters because everything is intertwined in such a way that what you do in this "reality" affects the other real reality.

    That someone in the other real reality is you, and you in this reality is also you.

    It means that your unique consciousness is at stake.
