   Ego is a posited being posited in a posited world, in   
   which the positing includes taking itself and the positing   
   seriously, i.e. as though "real".   
      
   "Why?" seems a important question until realizing it   
   presumes - i.e. takes for granted, i.e. as though "real"   
   - said positing.
