i am in the mood for a good mind fuck.
there have been several threads dealing with the qualities of reality, and the "reality" of people and/or objects in our world. my problem with this is a presupposition of an objective reality to be guessed about. what if this is simply not the case (and yes csfilm, we could take the solipsistic route and suggest that if all this is a dream, you guys and gals "could not possibly tell [me] anything [I] do not already know."
)?
at the moderate risk of turning this into a Cartesian philosophy debate, what if we are at the mercy of an evil demon (later made more PC as an evil genius) that can control our perceptions? (the Matrix in print only a few hundred years before the movies
)
Can anyone disprove the idea that there is no objective reality? if so, please tell.......
