Reply #3: Just imagine what you could do if you had

[Newest Reality]

a machine that could spew all the lies you wanted and then, people would believe them because, well, its on TV and they must be telling the truth. You would have the full power of Simulation and you could create a hyper-reality that feels and looks more real than real.

Just think of the world you could create for yourself and the power that would be yours. You could manufacture consent like widgets in a factory. You could inject confusion and divisiveness into a culture to assure that the people would never be able to reach any form of vital consensus -- even when if it became most critical to do so.
