Reailty is Virtual

To dissimulate is to pretend not to have what one has. Dissimulating leaves the principle of reality intact: the difference is always clear, it is simply masked.

To simulate is to feign to have, what one doesn’t have - and “Whoever simulates an illness produces in himself some of the symptoms” (Littré). Simulation threatens the difference between the true and the false, the real and the imaginary.
