Subjective Reality

Originally posted by Radar

Reality is reality regardless of whether or not anyone is around to percieve it. There is no MY reality or YOUR reality. There is only reality.

Yes, exactly the point I was trying to make in my earlier post (I, too, get scared when I find myself in agreement with Radar). The question of reality versus perception, unfortunately or not, is not one best left to college sophmores who have all had a few brews. We base our actions as a people, as a culture, as a country, as a government on what we percieve reality to be. Seldom do decision makers, whether individuals or governments, admit that their actions are based on a percieved truth which may be flawed, rather than on the actual REAL truth.
