YOU CAN NEVER GET OUT OF THE ROOM IN

YOUR BRAIN DURING YOUR LIFE

Imagine that you are entering a dark room which has a big television screen inside. If you could only
watch the outside world through this screen, you would naturally get bored of it after a while and want
to get out. Consider for a moment that the place you are in is no different. Inside your dark little skull,
similar to a box, you watch visions of the outside world during your life. You continue watching all of
these pictures in your brain without getting out of this small place and never get tired of it. In addition to
this, you would never believe that you were watching all of these things from a single screen. The vision
is so convincing that in thousands of years, billions of people were unable to realize this great reality.

We should also emphasize that scientific or technological development cannot change anything, as

every scientific discovery or technological invention occurs in the minds of people, and consequently is of
no help to people in reaching the outside world.
The views of renowned philosophers like B. Russell and L. Wittgenstein on this subject are as follows:

For instance, whether a lemon truly exists or not and how it came to exist cannot be questioned or investigated.
A lemon consists merely of a taste sensed by the tongue, an odour sensed by the nose, a colour and shape sensed

by the eye; and only these features of it can be subject to examination and assessment. Science can never know
the physical world. 13

Philosopher G. Berkeley clearly expressed that our perceptions exist only in our minds and that we
would be mistaken in automatically assuming that they exist in the outside world:
