What is Reality

in #first8 years ago

Over the past year and a half, I have come to better understand how we as individuals perceive reality (our subjective reality) versus what we have been conditioned to see (enforced reality). I am at the same time interested in hearing opinions from others (argued respectfully).
I think that the first critical moment of realization surfaced when confronted with the round versus flat earth dilemma.
From there everything became less of a hard fact and more of a possibility which divergent ideas exposed as something familiar or alien (pun not intended) and thus revealed the degree of uncertainty and confidence in ones perception.
I would like to further explore this new found liberty of expressing opinion within this artificial reality and at the same time witnessing the exact opposite in the "real world".
What do you think....

Nice post! You should checkout the @mindunleashed! 🐣

"we" live in our heads. What we see is routed to us and filtered through our senses. If a person, a bat, a dog, and a cat were to look at any given object they would all see it somewhat differently.

Well written
