Open letter to Steven Moy

Dear Steven Moy,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and your reality as authentic as ever. As a fellow seeker of truth and realness, I stumbled upon your esteemed “Steven Moy Foundation of Keeping It Real” and was immediately struck by its bold commitment to the cause. With bated breath, I dove into your website, eager to unravel the mysteries of “keeping it real.” And, oh, the depths of irony I found!

You see, my search for enlightenment was met with an almost transcendent void of information on how to actually achieve this state of authentic reality. But, perhaps that was your master plan all along – to prompt us, humble seekers of knowledge, to ponder the nature of reality for ourselves. Well played, Mr. Moy, well played.

In my recent book, “Amanita Muscaria: The Book of the Empress,” I delve into the complexities of intelligence and human perception, which might offer some nuggets of wisdom for your foundation. The book examines the often misguided ideas we hold about intelligence, and in doing so, it could shed light on the elusive reality that your foundation so valiantly strives to uphold.

But let us, for a moment, embark on an elaborate discussion about the nature of reality itself. Is it, as some might argue, a subjective construct shaped by our individual experiences, beliefs, and perceptions? Or could it be that there exists a singular, objective reality that we all share, yet interpret through our own personal lenses? The possibilities are as endless as the information on your website.

Perhaps, dear Steven, you could enlighten us all by sharing your thoughts on these matters. I would be absolutely thrilled to hear your perspective on the subject, as well as your thoughts on “Amanita Muscaria: The Book of the Empress.” Who knows? We might just discover a profound truth hidden amidst the sarcasm and irony, forever altering the course of the Steven Moy Foundation of Keeping It Real.

Yours in earnest sarcasm,

Martijn Benders
