Hey, even I'm willing to take some chances that what I think is real, 
isn't. So far, I'm doing pretty well, thinking the universe is real. At 
least, I think I am. If the universe isn't real, then I suppose neither 
am I and if that's the case, it doesn't really matter, does it?

So, I'll go on, believing the universe is real, even though I have no 
proof beyond myself, that it is.
