Reply #62: reality IS subjective

[Old Mouse]

No human truly lives in the NOW or reality. We all have crafted acceptable levels of what we believe to be the world around us in order to function and live.

But this construct of reality is like the proverbial onion skin. There is no end to peeling back the layers,revealing a larger and more complex state of existence each time.

For some, the crafted reality is that the entire world is supposed to be like a television version of small town America. Homelessness is by choice. Poverty is from laziness. God doesn't want anyone to do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable. And sending our noble boys to give the less-than-human brownish folk across the globe a chance at this life is a good and godlike thing to do.

A few layers down there are those watching the planetary ecosystem dramatically shift with the accelerating speed of a chemical reaction with the only adjustable factor, the global economic network, becomes less effective every moment it remains under the control of an illegal and incompetent cabal.

The human brain is designed to craft a reality in order to base the sense of self. The average American will find it difficult to suddenly expand their notion of how the world around them works.
