Out there in cyberspace, there is an entity that intermittently calls itself Colin Bennett, and publishes a webzine called Panzerben's Combat Diaries. In considering these entities, it is useful to know that Bennett entertains a tantalising belief that there is no such thing as reality. For example, in various versions of his essay 'Scepticism as mystique', he declares that "the real is a piece of clapboard philosophical fakery", while facts are "the ultimate conspiracy", "stage constructs" that "are not found in nature. They are manufactured screens, a fraudulent convenience to enable us to reason in yet more fraudulent terms". ⬇⬇
