Reality is what we preceive, right? Let's skip that debate and just consider it true.

That means that the cast of your life really aren't people. They're individual experiences that are associated by abstract similarities.

Put it this way: When someone gets into an argument with me, or they let me down, or they effect me in some negative way, I don't associate THEM with the negative experience. The experience stands alone, and has a mild effect on the next 'episode' I have with that person. It's not that I don't hold grudges [I have, but try not to.] It's just that, even if I don't like someone, the individual experiences make themselves for me. I can hold a grudge against someone, but don't act that grudge out. It remains an emotion.

Am I just disattached? I don't see people as people, just similarities between different events in my day/life.

When you think of the reality is perception concept, things start to get surreal. Makes me consider the whole "Maybe this is all a dream?" thing.

[This is a discussion thread, not a debate thread. I'm not saying we can't debate, but I'm not trying to make any definite statements here. Just discussing the concepts.]

Oh, and I apologize to everyone who was expecting Bill Nye.

Get back to reality, you ****ing hippie.

No way maaaan.

You could have used the time it took you to make that up to find a job you ****in bum!

It gets even better on the internet. All that anyone is is a series of ASCII characters. Well, as long as you stay out of the camhoez thread.

And then they're potential silverwear, throw rugs, hide-jackets, and still-warm-mates!

You see, Shintock was funny. You just tried to find an excuse to swear...


Kirby, you're just going insane. k?

I've never been sane. There's no way. I'm starting to honestly think I've got a double-negative OCD.

.

Is this the real life?

No it's Serenity.

HAH. HAHA. Messed up your evil scheme, didn't I genks!? DIDN'T I?!

Oh, and Kirby, you're a midget. You're awesome because you're a midget with a jetpack wheel-chair. You're awesome because you're an badass motherfreaker midget with a jetpack wheel-chair who models a SPAS-12 and then shoots people in the kneecaps with one.

Kirby, you're too awesome to be insane.

Read your sentance again. That literally defines insanity.

SOOOOO Back to discussing, maybe? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh!? OK. [/peter griffin]

Dammit.

f*** you!

Not funny.

Yeah, funny? Funny how? Funny like a clown funny? Eh?

That is why I prefer the physics worldview to the philosophy one. Things are real.

Also, ever read 1984? I just read it and it messed me up good.

Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser! Pow! Right in the kisser!

What the hell does disattached mean.

To not be attached?

Kirby has been watching the Matrix too much.

"What the Bleep do we Know?"

Are things real? Are electric fields real? Is energy real? Are they just useful mathematical devices, or do they really exist? And how do you even define what it means to 'really exist'? Is friction real? On what level? If you look at it on a microscopic level, there's only attractions and repulsions between protons and electrons. There's no seperate 'friction force' when you look that small. How does physics decide what's real?

If physics has a worldview, it's only because physics is actually a philosophy. And it isn't nearly as simple as 'x is real, y is not'.

yup. Quantum Physics.

Give me M-theory or give me death.

Vornskr, I meant that physics is a philosophy that treats things as real and that's why I like it.
