You will find this question asked,
In many forms,
By learnéd men and women.
By people who pretend
And teens who are growing.
"How do I know that I am real?"
Well? How do you?
Can you tell me something,
Anything, to prove that we are not
Somebody else's dreams?
Is Mark Dale still dreaming
Of the conscious society?
Conscious means both alive and thinking.
Why would I ask you a big question like this?
(I can tell your mom is very worried at this point)
In your next few years technology
(things that we do to change the real world
from something that gives us problems
to something that we believe will make us happy)
Will give you toys and tell you
"this is alive", "this is real".
You will be in charge of helping
Old people like me and other people
Who can not think so clearly.
You will help them to see if mankind
Really has made a new life. A toy that lives.
Ask your toys if they are alive?
Crazy GK, I know.
We are all the luckiest people because we breathe.
Some of us are happy, some of us are sad.
Some of us have problems,
Some of us make our own problems.
The difference? Ask Atlas, not Jeeves,
When you find your fulcrum (what you balance your spoon on to flick food across the dinner table at mommy)
You will move the earth.
