What is reality ?

"You're more cretinous and obtuse than your self-contradictory, unempirical, religious model of the earth. The globe model of the earth, as with all models of reality devised by creatures of limited consciousness, is no more a real conception of the external physical world than the flat earth model. It's a synthesis of abstractions and axioms processed by a network of sensory organs responding to stimuli that creates the illusion of consciousness and an extant, immutable reality beyond those senses. This is false. The idea of consciousness experiencing an external reality is false, the globe earth model as with all models is false. Both models can be useful but neither are in any sense 'real'. Enjoy your comforting delusions of understanding the universe you CIApeople"

What does this mean? I didn't say it so don't get angry at me

Reality is what you make it and no one can prove you exist or that anything exists - everything you see is made up of stuff that happens only in your brain and is different for everyone

Everyone has the same brain. Normally...

I think he's saying the earth is flat.
It's got a lot of big words thrown in to make it look more impressive, but basically he's saying the earth is flat,

[–] MarilynManson (33) 8 years ago

ignoring the flat earth part, we can use his words to discuss reality itself, using his words

Well if he is trying to say that any random idea you pull out of your butt is equally as "true" or real as an idea that has been tested and has mountains evidence behind it, that is the "alternative facts" mindset and I think it's a load of horse shit. Not every idea is equal.

Right. And Off Topic: that's why I have no trouble (theoretically) banning people : )

<< I think it's weird that there's this mounting HYSTERIA from some about potentially banning people. If a poster is mistakenly or unfairly banned, they'd just email the site, have their posting history reviewed and get reinstated....it's not like Child Protective Services was sent to their house and took their kids away.

So they were banned from a free chat board....big deal.

Grow the f€#k up and put on your Big Girl panties, people! >>

Whoever said that is Verysmart. You can tell by the big words.

Whomever created the quote used words whose meaning s/he didn't understand. It's like that great line from The Princess Bride, "I don't think you know what that word means!"

Whoever wrote that comment didn't understand why i quoted it.
