>>7643109When you can tell me what the boundaries of the human imagination are, and what space the imagination operates within, then I will tell you that I agree with you. We hallucinate all of reality through the bizarre interactions of raw sensory data playing on our organs of perception, who is to say by what mechanism the imagination interfaces with the world?
For all we know the subconscious could have modes of perception different from the ones we interact with consciously. To claim the machine elves are from within us is to claim that we know the origins and operations of our subconscious thoughts.
