to grok Reality

Post by Advocate »

Reality is the experienced part of Actuality, which is the universe beyond the perception of a mind.

Reality is of two levels:
Reality-to-us is a filtered sub-set of reality. The filters are:
-physical/biological, your senses
-cultural/subconscious, things you learned or experienced very early in life
-Self - psychological/personality/character, the story you tell yourself about how you fit into the world and society

"Reality" is consensus experience; that which continuously replicates. Whatever keeps being the same is the most real.

To the extent our experiences are explicit and specific we may find ways to communicate them. To the extent that communication is successful and language adequately represents reality, that's the foundation of ethics.
