I am still on the bench on this particular idea.
My perception is that everything I know is a construct of my awareness.
This idea, in effect, does make me god.
What I see as 'blue', another may see as 'red' but knows that it is 'blue'.
In my world, everyone has fingers that through another's eyes, may be 20 inches long, but in my world, that is 'natural' and my measurement is the fingers are only 2 to 3 inches long.
I do not know how some one else sees things in their world, but our interpretations are on similar ground. If I could get inside some one else's head, I might see a truly bizarre world from my perspective and vice versa.
What we see and perceive in our respective worlds is 'normal'.
And yes. There are a bunch of ands, ifs and buts in this hypothesis, ergo my bench status.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
