Copyright: yet another emergent property of enough people behaving self-centrically, whose behaving thusly includes believing there really is such a thing upon noticing enough other people believing it's more than an emergent property - i.e. that it's "real" - that one best join that club or seem like a silly little person that doesn't "get it".
I've looked high and low for it, an still haven't founded save as an alleged it/thing.
Q: Where is it?
A: It's real. It's just that it doesn't register with any of your senses.
Q: What?
A: That's right It's a different kind of existing. But that kind of existing is real too.
Q: But....
A: Is there something wrong with you? Most of us are saying it exists and is real.
Q: I was hoping there might be more to it than that?
A: Just how fucking stupid *are* you? Of *course* it exists, and of *course* it's real! Practically everyone but you knows it!
Q: But where is it?
A: OMFG! Enough of you. Come back some other day when you've finally accepted as real what the majority of people are saying is real.
