Opinion
Interview
In
a
recent
interview
Derrick
Fenneman
sat
down
with
president
Barack
Obama
on
his
theory
on
why
he
questions
if
anything
is
really
real.
Doesn’t
make
sense
right?
Maybe
Derrick
can
convince
you
read
on
to
find
out
what
he
is
talking
about.
Barack:
Hello
Derrick,
it
is
nice
to
meet
you.
Derrick:
Well
thank
you
Barack,
it
really
is
an
honor
being
here.
Barack:
Now
your
here
to
talk
about
your
theory
on
why
you
think
that
nothing
is
actually
real.
That
everything
around
us
really
doesn’t
exist?
Please
explain
Derrick:
Will we ever know what is true reality? Or are we in a world that things are
only approximately true? Science cannot prove that anything is real but that
everything exists only in your mind or in the matrix. Everything you know depends
on or is created in your mind. The egocentric predicament says that you cannot
prove that anything exists or is real.
Barack: That is an interesting view, why is it that you think this way?
Derrick: Of course it is easier to think that everything really does exists, it is just
more common and easier to understand. No one really thinks the way that I do
that our mind is really just showing us all of the things that surround us and that
are visible
