Internet before and its growing pains (1/5)

I remember writing an essay at university about writing and my aversion to it. When there are already so many books, articles and things that have been written, what can I possibly add?
For the last hour, I have been searching for this essay on various USB drivers and external hard disks. I think I saved it somewhere in 2006. Along the way, I stumbled upon another essay from 2019. It was an attempt to describe what my work is about, though it seems more like a list of questions:

Waar is de grens tussen realiteit en illusie? Kun je de grens bewust oversteken? Wat is echt? Wat is realiteit? Wat is waarheid? Waar is de grens tussen mijn waarheid en die van andere mensen en/of dieren? Wat is illusie? Wat is magie?
Wat heeft geloven hiermee te maken? Hoeveel waarheden of verhalen zijn er? Welk(e) waarheid of verhaal ‘kies’ ik? Leeft mijn gevoel en denken alleen in mij? Kan het ook in anderen leven? Wat is waar van wat ik waarneem?

Where is the line between reality and illusion? Can you cross the border consciously? What is real? What is reality? What is truth? Where is the line between my truth and that of other people and/or animals? What is illusion? What is magic? What does faith have to do with this? How many truths or stories are there? Which truth or story do I ‘choose’? Do my feelings and thoughts only live within me? Can it also live in others? What is true of what I observe?

What does belief have to do with this? How many truths or stories are there? Which truth or story do I ‘choose’? Do my feelings and thoughts only live in me? Can they also live in others? What is true of what I perceive?
