Unsure of whether reality is as it appears or is merely a projection of an indescribable noumenal reality, you can still be sure that this very moment of experience is or has the very being that belongs to its ground. Or can you? If the figure in a dream turns its attention in this way it might wake into lucidity, but even if it does not it making no assumption about the 'what', merely focusing on the 'that' it touches a reality whose precise nature is unknown but which is undeniably a reality. But what if the figure is not in a dream but a simulation, and its attention to being is precisely the object being studied, and so the simulation is run over and over again to gain some statistical data? Then surely the consciously intended 'real' is no real at all? But isn't this just the same as Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, and so would not his test be, in contemporary terms, to will your being even if you were to discover that it was only a simulation?
