@koifish Close to what we perceive I think

I could be wrong

But is reality a factual thing?

Pingu you may need to read too.

Have our heard of r/iamverysmart?

*you

Yup.

Pretty sure you’d be front page

@koifish Depends on what you think reality is.

Ever heard of r/incels?

You wouldn't even be noticed by them.

@Mr. X I think reality is factual

@koifish Debatable.

Do you believe the ocean is blue?

To the naked eye

Mostly, yes.

Could be wrong.

Wouldn’t that be reality

If Mr. E says the ocean is blue, then it *is* blue. He is our god now

No.

It could be.

How so

How could it not be

Since different animals see in different colours.

Humans dont even see all the colours.

We see a lot but not all.

We could be a simulation for all I know.

But do you accept there’s a reality given man’s limitations?

Like we can’t see in IR but given our visual spectrum the reality is it’s blue to our naked eyes

Then yeah obviously.

Our blue could be some animal’s green, but no matter the color we see the ocean is still one color

Doesn't mean its fact or true.

But it does mean that it’s true because you can see it

You know how when you put a straw in a half full glass of water and it looks like its bending?

But we know empirically that it isn’t bending

It's obviously not bending. It's your eyes playing tricks on you.

So that’s a fact

That it doesn’t bend when it’s in the water

Wouldn’t that be reality

No, could be a simulation.

But you can say that about anything
