Actually, you can take this further.  We're watching a reconstruction
of your thoughts on a computer screen, which happens to be displaying
a copy of the words in your original article that my computer
reproduced after it got them from another computer that was instructed
to duplicate your words that are an interpretation of what you really 
thought!!!!

As my friend Charles Reardon once told me, "Life is just too cosmic to
be real, man."
