This thread seems to be working toward the whole Matrix idea ...

"If we all percieve our world, are we really living in an intricate computer ..." etc...

I suppose there will always be a philosophical disagreement between actual reality (that being all the things that are as they seem defined by their properties) and people perceived reality.

I suppose it is nearly impossiblt to decide between them on an individual basis.

"We need not suppose more things to exist than are absolutely neccesary." William of Occam

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt" William Shakespeare (Measure for Measure: Act 1, Scene 4)
