Unfortunately, no one can be told what a file is. You have to see it for yourself.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the file system goes.
I feel like it’s more of a “If I tried to tell you what this was, you wouldn’t believe me” than a “I am physically incapable of explaining the idea that you’re plugged into a computer”.
