EVERYTHING IS REAL; EVEN THE STUFF THAT ISN'T.
Okay, we've got the point out of the way. Now, let us consider.
Say you are at your computer (which you will be, unless you're on your phone or have printed this). It's real; it's real because it exists, and you know it exists. It's there, you can touch it and use it. I might ask "But what if it's a computer simulation of some sort; we're all in the Matrix, blah blah blah". Well, one sec.
Imagine a computer in your head now. What gives this computer any less reality than an actual physical one? You may not be able to touch it physically, but it's still there. If you were to think hard enough, it would have all the details of a real computer. If you could think REALLY hard, it could probably do the same things. I know looking like a duck and quacking like a duck is not really a fitting mallard test, but there is still something there in both cases.
I'm not claiming they are the same thing; just that they are both real, albeit in a different way. There's no such thing as imaginary; the distinction would be mental to physical, and whatever other states there are.
Part 2 will be about my imaginary friend Rax, when I get to writing it.
