I think the idea behind all that is misleading. To pose the question of Hobbes being real or not, one should trust in an underlying “reality” (big trust) and one should trust to be part of it (even bigger!). But who may decide that? Who can say that I’m more or less real than Hobbes? Maybe Hobbes sees us as puppets.. Or maybe reality is just a projection of our trusts, so that Hobbes is real in my reality, and not real in someone else’s one.

You mean Hobbes is a part-time liar? That would explain why Hobbes is so true for me

Beware! Presenting himself as a stuffed animal is just another trick of Hobbes…
