To say "I live in a world that is 'functionally real' but not 'objectively real'.." and to defend it by saying it functions like the matrix or is some video game projected from the mind of god or some similar nonsense is I'm afraid as cohrent, to me, as saying "I am distimming a gobschmeck".
I think it's you, Captain, because it makes sense to me. The world we live in is one of sense experiences and observations about them. You can experience seeing and walking on a bridge, and it's therefore functionally real. But the bridge doesn't exist as you experience it, because QM. And idealism goes even further than that. . . the QM particles themselves may not be objectively real, either. In fact, there's pretty solid evidence that they are not, unless you totally abuse the words "objective" and "real."
Am I reading you right, AKD?
