How come people still think this “life” is the only true reality?
Question by MyThirdEyeIsOpen: How come people still think this “life” is the only true reality?
First off this is not religious/spiritual, and yes I often use “facts” by scientists to try and make examples.
I mean yea, in this current form or whatever it’s okay to think that this is the only true reality. But if you really want to know how tricky life is you have to go way waaay out there…
I’m going to try my best to explain this because it’s really hard to try and comprehend this. Don’t take this out of context and make it literal, I’m just trying to make it easy enough to make it more understandable.
“Everything” in “this reality” is sensory data being interpreted by what the “brain” thinks, not your mind (what makes you, conciousness, ect) but the brain. The only thing your mind has affect on this is what “your” conception of it is. *Scientifically Proven. -Basically we live in a 3D hologram created by the brain.
Here are some examples of what the brain can’t detect, but we know for a fact it exists:
Ultraviolet Rays/Lights (Humans can’t see this, bee’s can.)
Everything in this world is really upside down. (Our brain literally flips the image up right, and what we think of up could really possibly be down.)
And you know those 3D cubes you draw on a piece of paper, and you draw a dot in the middle of it, and while starring at it for awhile it flips the other direction randomly? That’s proof in my opinion how easily the human mind can be fooled, the sensory data is trying to make it what it is and it just can’t get a straight image of it.
Basically it’s a 3D object on a 2D plain (the paper you drew it in.)
We have to see things for awhile to really grasp a good concept for the human mind to comprehend. For instance, people thought the world was flat, and that it being a circular mass like a ball, people couldn’t comprehend that thought because it just didn’t make sense, it was called “Unreal”.
What makes this different from any other out of this world “crazy” thought?
Most people are focusing their reality on what they percieve/see.They are staying inside the human mind basically. And sense this is the case. They are basically focusing on a “limited” route.
Prove it… People ask that alot. But if, our mind can’t comprehend this thought, and we arn’t able to get the sensory data out of it, some things will be physically impossible to prove. What about dis-prove? You can’t disprove it either. If you try, you are basically saying, “My brain can’t see/sense this so it’s not really real.”
Even scientists are claiming out of this world things as facts, such as:
Atoms being in more than one place at once, while popping in and out of existence “at the same time”.
And if you try to observe an electron, “it notices it’s being observed and acts differently.”
This is how weird this is all is.
Just want your thoughts and opinions on it.

Answer by Atlas Shrugged
I think,(thinking, is that real? what is real?) that you are on the road to sorrow. This is not meant as an insult, but once you see the futility of life, it’s starts to take all of the flavor out of it. It makes video games and fiction seem more plausible than this world we live.
Ask yourself what the purpose of life is? Can it be objectively defined?
Nietzche said it was the will to power.
I think that it is the will to pleasure. With that said, a bum or a mentally challenged person can be the smartest, and most happy individual in the world. Because they know how to maintain and achieve happiness. There are people with degrees, millions of dollars, beauty, and fame who are discontent with the stress they struggle with as a result of their value systems.
I’ll put this in an equation, (don’t still my theory and put in a book) Reality is our perception of reality divided by the objective reality and multiplied by metaphysical reality. Peace
