Sipping espresso

Pause, muse on time's illusion

Work must resume, shame

Off-topic but, was that supposed to be a haiku? I only count six syllables in the second line.

oops fixed

You sell illusory time for illusory money in the simulation, so espresso is illusory too, I'm afraid.

You haven't shown that "Illusion" is transitive

Nothing is real in the simulation, I believe.

That's a different point than the one you were making!

And I didn't mean illusory in opposition to real. Is the pleasure I derive from an illusory steak in the Matrix not real?

The pleasure is in fact real and cannot be made illusory.
