The Happy End Of Reality
an excerpt

You ever sit back and think about what reality is? I mean what it really is. Odds are you haven't not without copious amounts of controlled and controlling substances. And even then, you got it wrong. If you look at a dictionary, there are a few definitions but the one that's right, the one that's really right is “something that exists independently of all other things and from which all other things derive.” It's pretty innocuous I guess but think about it: for the whole of human history we've depended on reality, the world around us, to give a shape to our existence if not a reason. We depend on reality to make sure that physics stay physical, water stays wet, gravity keeps us from flinging out into space and give us some perspective on life and the universe.
And reality is who we pissed off.
