We sciency types like to talk about “objective reality,” but since you and I remember every event differently, in what sense does such a thing even exist? If there is a reality neither one of us can access, where is it? Back in the good old days we would say it is the “mind of God,” but do we even have words for this any more?

My memory IS a freaky trick. That’s how it works.

Wasn’t “cake” in the list?
Nah. The cake is a lie.
